Intel’s Santa Rosa Platform Launches

Intel has launched their latest mobile platform, Santa Rosa, and I have high hopes for this one. To get up to par with what’s new, you can read the press release or my initial thoughts in our forums. You can expect coverage of Santa Rosa powered notebooks in the very near future from us. Here is a quote from the forum post:

First thing of interest I find, is that the T7700 processor will retail for $530. It has a 800FSB (which should mean we will see DDR2-800 mobile ram), and also a 2.40GHz clock speed. The reason I find this interesting, is that the previous high-end chip (T7600) comes in at 2.33GHz speeds with similar specs, except 667FSB… but still costs $637. Both are based on 65nm, but Santa Rosa is already looking like the better value.
