As part of an updated product roadmap, the semiconductor firm should provide detailed specs of Calpella and, presumably, the mobile Core i5 and i7 processors it will use. The ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/17/intel.calpella.at.idf.sept/ Fri, 17 Jul 2009 13:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/12/intel.2h09.notebook.plans/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/intelnehalem.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A leak of Intel's notebook processor plans for the second half of 2009 show the company moving aggressively into its new platforms during the summer. Those within notebook builders tell DigiTimes that the Nehalem-based notebook processor line, Calpella, is still on track for summer and is slated for mid- to high-range notebooks costing about $1,200 or more. Whether or not this will involve only ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/12/intel.2h09.notebook.plans/ Tue, 12 May 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/21/intel.calpella.early.cpus/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/intelnehalem.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A leak hints Intel's first use of its Nehalem architecture in a notebook processor, on the Calpella platform, may only include three processors all targeted at the high end of the market. Where most notebook processor launches often cover most of the range, DigiTimes hears the earliest chips will only be quad-core models (codenamed Clarksfield) and should include the Core 2 Quad P1, Core 2 Quad P... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/21/intel.calpella.early.cpus/ Tue, 21 Apr 2009 11:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/16/core.i7.mobile.still.q3/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/intelnehalem.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Despite claims to the contrary, Intel's mobile Core i7 platform is still reported as on track for the summer. Although Intel publicly stated at its latest Developer Forum that the platform (nicknamed Calpella) and its matching processors (Clarksfield) aren't due until the fall, Fudzilla understands that suppliers are being told that all of the notebook components are due in the summer quarter.

Cuts had been rumored after a drop in the company's net income for the fourth quarter, as a means of boosting sales. Simultaneously, however, it was worried that a reduction would cause significant damage to notebook builders, who in some cases may be carrying large inventories of fu... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/10/intel.holds.on.price.cuts/ Tue, 10 Feb 2009 18:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/21/mobile.core.i7.late.2009/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/intelnehalem.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel's Core i7 architecture may not reach the mobile space until late next year, statements made by the company at the Intel Developer Forum suggest. Known internally as Clarksfield, the notebook processor design now isn't slated to start production until the second half of 2009.
