Intel has already launched T9600, a 2.8GHz dual core with 6MB cache and 1066FSB support. This chip fits into the new Montevina aka Centrino 2 platform, but there is a new chip that will take the performance leader crown from this quite fast chip.
Intel plans to launch Core 2 T9800 a new CPU that works at 2.93GHz has 6MB cache, supports 1066FSB and 35W TDP.
It fits to socket P and it is definitely going to be the fastest dual-core for notebooks to date. The quad-core mobile CPU will also launch in the next few weeks, but we don’t expect such great performance out of it, as it will be slower clocked than most of the dual cores.
