According to this website, Intel will release quad core mobile processor (codenamed Penryn QC) for Montevina platform, in the second half of 2008

These mobile quad core processor will have 12MB L2 cache and 1066MHz FSB

The maximum TDP will be 45W but the idle power is just 3-4W

The clock speeds for these quad core mobile processors is still unknown

Why 12MB cache? I know that is good. But what I mean is, why are they putting a 12MB cache into a mobile CPU when they don't even do that for normal ones?

Is there some way in which laptops benefit in a special way from a huge L2 cache? Other than the ways you would expect?

And why a 1066Mhz FSB? If it's late 2008, surely they will be up to 1333 or 1600?

Or maybe I'm just completely clueless about mobile stuff. Fill me in.

Wow... 3-4W idle? Amazing!
