Intel dual-core notebook processors, (codenamed Yonah), will be priced similarly to the current prices for the 700-series Pentium M processors, according to sources in the Taiwan notebook industry.
Details of the dual-core notebook processors were revealed at IDF (Intel Developer Forum) in San Francisco in September 2004 and the processors will be launched in the first quarter of 2006.
The X-series Yonah processors will be part of Intel’s Napa dual-core notebook platform, which is also expected to hit the market in the first quarter of next year, and will represent Intel’s transition from 90nm technology to 65nm. In addition, the Napa notebook architecture will be the basis for Intel’s digital home products.
In addition, Yonah-series processors will be adopted by Apple Computer, which agreed to use Intel microprocessors for its Macintosh computers starting in 2006.
In related news, the chip giant is scheduled to cut the prices of its 700-series Pentium M processors on July 24.
