Ok so we have seen the first Penryn but it is a quad core desktop version. Daily Tech are reporting the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme dual core processors for Notebooks will land in January with the first appearance at CES 2008 (January 7th).
| Model |
Core Frequency |
TDP | L2 Cache | Price |
| X9000 | 2.8 GHz | 44W | 6MB | $851 |
| T9500 | 2.6 GHz | 35W | 6MB | $530 |
| T9300 | 2.5 GHz | 35W | 6MB | $316 |
| T8300 | 2.4 GHz | 35W | 3MB | $241 |
| T8100 | 2.1 GHz | 35W | 3MB | $209 |
While the current lineup with be 35W the Montevina platform released in the 2nd half of the year will lower the TDP to 25W.
I have to say that Intel are definatly on a winning streak at the moment, I hope AMD start to improve their releases.
