    "The new dual-core processors--targeted at Apple MacBook Air-class laptops--include the 2.53GHz SP9600 priced at $316 with 6MB of cache memory and a thermal envelope rating of 25 watts. Slotted below this chip is the 1.6GHz SU9600 (3MB cache) priced at $289 with a thermal envelope rating of 10 watts.

    The lineup also includes a single-core 1.4GHz SU3500 with a thermal envelope of only 5.5 watts. This is priced at $262.

    Intel ULV and LV chips due on March 30, 2009:"

    This is good. I'd like to see a 13.3" notebook with an SP9600.

    I'm glad Intel is trying to bring down the thin and light notebooks to mainstream prices. Too bad these CPUs are only good for those and smaller notebook/netbooks due to their soldering in, so no upgrades.
