Core 2 Duo Arrives for Notebooks

Today Intel officially launched the Core 2 Duo processor for mobile platforms. Based on the Merom core, Core 2 Duo is arguably the industry’s most anticipated mobile processor launch of this year. Judging from performance comparisons of its desktop counterpart, Conroe, Core 2 Duo should deliver some very impressive performance benchmarks in notebooks, which will also be announced this week.

As expected, some of the CPU’s get expensive, but even the smaller $200~ ones will provide some amazing performance. If you are looking to buy a laptop, you will be wanting to take a hard look at Merom.
