Just noticed this one on the Intel blog, PR Chip Shots - "Sneak Peek -- Quad-Core Laptops"
It seems that Intel has been demoing a laptop PC featuring a quad-core processor - four processing engines per chip - at its IDF in Taiwan. Freshly delivered from the Intel design labs...
"Just 72-hours out of the design lab, the notebook ran a demo of the game Quake Wars. Intel will introduce a variety of notebook processors throughout 2008 under its "Montevina" codename family that takes advantage of the company's shift to 45 nanometer manufacturing and reformulated transistors."
