One of my best friends just bought a new laptop... as group computer geek it falls on me to scrub all the bloatware off of it for him so he can start using it. While doing that I fire up cpuz just to find out whats under the hood and what to my suprise do I see? A brand spanking new Penyrn...

There is a sticker in the front that says Intel Centrino Duo.

I wasn't even aware these things were available yet ... the laptop is an HP dv9700. It has a 17" screen (1680x1050). 2gb ram, 240gb hard drive, an 8600go, bluetooth, a fingerprint reader.. and oh yeah... Bluray.

I can't wait to play with it.
 
Centrino Duo is a rather vague brand.. just from that, you could be getting any Intel dual-core chip from the Core Duo onwards.

But, I didn't know they were out either, although I'm not looking for a laptop currently. Looks good though!
 
yeah the HPs were among the first to get the penryn cores out the door.

Which sucks as I want a Dell.

Dell's mega M1330 deal just expired and they haven't announced penryns yet :(
Maybe I should have gotten that deal and done the penryn core myself, but bios and etc make me hesitant. </OT>

also, 1.03v. Higher than id expect. 45nm should be OK being fed <1v (my 65nm allendale runs 2.4 happy at 1.00v)
 
If these Penryns are relatively cheap and are easy to obtain exist by Nehalem's launch, I'll pop one into my M1530, given a mandatory BIOS update of course.
 
Yeah I think the T9300 is going to be the sweet spot. Plenty of clock speed and you get the 6MB of cache.

How is this a Peryn if its a DualCore? Shouldn't it be labeled Wolfdale?

Wolfdales are the dual-cores based on penryn architecture. So it is both a penryn and possibly wolfdale unless they use a different name for their mobile implementation. Either way it is a penryn architecture and is thus labeled
