Latitude or Precision with Intel Core i7 (Arrandale)?

Intel's core i3/i5/i7 Arrandale processors will be released soon (Q1 2010). They all have integrated graphics but support external graphics too. Do you think these processors will be used in Dell Latitude and/or Precision laptops? If so, when?

Wikipedia article on Arrandale processors

 

Yes, Dell's business line will most likely be in Q1 2010 with these chips... use the search function next time ^^

 

New lineup should be revealed the first week of january, for sale on or around the 10th.

launch date for arrandale is fairly well known. Just going off of that. The 10th is just a couple days after launch, I doubt Dell will wait too long.

 

You can find the new M6500 already on dell.com:

Which strangely enough, isn't an arrandale design.

 

Yeah those are Clarksfield processors which have much higher TPD than Arrandale. I wonder if they have a new cooling solution on that model though.

Also, does anyone have a reliable source on standard voltage Arrandale core i7 release dates? According to this Wikipedia article, standard voltage Arrandale core i7s won't be released until Q3 2010. The low/ultra low voltage versions are probably meant for smaller laptops, not Latitude and certainly not Precision(?)

 

Check out the hardware subforum for news on Arrandale. All the mainstream Arrandales except the ULV ones will be released in Q1 2010 AFAIK. Here's a link to my other thread:
