(image found on information week.com website)Intel has announced three Core 2 quad-core processors that use less power and run cooler. This is a big plus for all in one units such a devices from HP, Apple and Dell that offer people a compact size machine with room to spare.
"The new "s" series chips include the Q9550s, the Q9400s, and the Q8200s. All three have a 1333-MHz front-side bus, but differ in clock speed and the size of the L2 cache. The Q9550s runs at 2.83 GHz and has 12 MB of cache, the Q9400s runs at 2.66 GHz with 6 MB, and the Q8200s runs at 2.33 GHz with 4 MB. Pricing in batches of 1,000 units is $369, $320, and $245."
