Around the time Windows 7 launches publically, you can expect a new shipment of mobile CPU’s from Intel. Finally, Intel has announced that the Core i7 mobile platform (Calpella) will be shipping in the last part of September. Meaning that when you go to buy a new shiny laptop, you might just find one with Windows 7 and a Centrino Nehalem-based architecture.
MSI will be the first to ship notebooks powered by Intel's new mobile platform. The new line-up consist of the Core i7 7200M, Core i7 8200M, and Core i7 920XM. The Clarksfield version of the new CPU’s will basically be a scaled down version of the desktop CPU. Offering a bit more than just power, the networking (Wireless N). Just like the Core i7 desktop CPU, this mobile CPU will have an integrated DDR3 memory controller
Around the same time, you can expect Intel’s new dual-core ULV processors. The dual core ULV’s (Ultra Low Voltage) are targeted at ultra mobile notebooks, maybe even netbooks. It’s been suggested that this will all happen around IDF (Intel’s Developer Forum). Perhaps hold off on that next notebook purchase for another month or so, and get the most powerful quad-core processor just in time for Windows 7
Intel's Core i5 and Core i3 mobile (Arrandale) are not slated for release until Q1 2010
