Intel to Unleash Mobile Quad-Core Processor

DigiTimes reports that Intel is set to launch its mobile quad-core processor by the third-quarter of the year.

The Core 2 Extreme QX9300 will carry a $1038 price per 1000 units.

The 45-nanometer design will sport a core frequency of 2.53GHz, support for up to a 1066MHz front-side bus, and include 12MB of Level 2 cache. But with demand for high-end notebook systems reportedly below average, “Intel expects the quad-core notebook CPUs will not become standard in the performance/mainstream notebook market until the second half of 2009.”

The hefty power usage and price of the chip makes it seem an unlikely candidate for Apple notebooks.
