Intel '09 Roadmap Revealed: Part 2!
At this point we have some useful data – we already know what is coming and what expected prices are going to be like. Of course final pricing may deviate from what is projected from Intel at this point depending on the current market at the time of release. On-top of all of this, Nvidia enthusiasts will now have more freedom when it comes to a choice of boards.

As was covered in previous reports, Intel boards, chipsets and processors will also support discrete graphics – which essentially means, you can use Nvidia SLI on its new boards. If you would like a little more information regarding this topic specifically, please see this post.
Onto the Intel mobile platform. Intel has some nice offerings for Q4 of 2008 and continuing on into 2009 for all aspects of mobile computing – ranging from entry level value all the way up to extreme gaming consumers. Let’s take a quick look at the projected roadmap that starts with Q3 of 2008.

So we also have some useful data here as well in terms of mobile computing. We have some basic technical specifications of the processors and the TDP of the Netbook ones. Unfortunately the TDP data for all the standard mobile processors was unavailable to us. Surely enough we should see some Intel publicized data shortly.
Quad-core desktops sure have become affordable, but it doesn't look like that's in the cards for laptops. It's too bad, considering the average new desktop is pretty much overkill at this point, so even with laptops having a disadvantage, if there was a little competition to get the prices more in line with desktops, for most of us, just one laptop would do it.
Apparently you missed yesterday's "Part 1" article before making dumb comments.

I think along with the 8800gt, they are going in this last generation's hall-of-staying-power fame.
Seriously, what was the last computer component that was worth buying for 3 years?
All the P's seems to have a 25W TDP
and all the T's are 35W TDP
