    Ive got a question about the 620M that is rumored to come at the 10 Jan.

    Has it got the same Socket as the Core i7 4Core has?
    If that would be true,it would be good.
    At the Moment the 4Cores have to much Consumption,so if Intel relaeses one with lower Outpout,maybe you could change to them.

    You're referring to Arrandale. If you search for Arrandale, you'll find a lot of information, but yes, it will use the same socket (989). It's a dual-core and 32nm, so it will use less power.

    Should just be a die shrink, with no changes to the socket.

    Thx for this. As example notebookcheck.com says it wont have 64Bit Support,which i think is completely wrong.

    According to New noebooks the updated dell e6500 or the updated r500,however they then will be named,will have my "Award of Contract".

    I hope there will come something soon,reading the daily news at engadget ;-)

    Its a dual core i7 with hyper threading with a Intel GMA gpu integrated.
    But why make a prosessor that includes Intel Vt but no 64 bit?
    I think its a typo error or something.

    All Arrandale processors will support the 64-bit instruction set, it's most definitely a typo or accidental omission.

    If you're referring to the Lenovo R500, I think that line is being phased out.

    Im reffering to the R500 or the T500.
    The Quality of the R500 i trst wasnt really good,not so stable.
    P8600 + GMA 4500HD.
    Especially compared to an r51 much more flex at the keyboard area.

    I will wait and hope that there will come soon something new.
