    It has been around for awhile, most every computer now can have one except the really cheap budget ones.

    You have the new Quads. The platform went through a refresh, with the addition of a revised Socket P to support both Dual Cores and Quads.

    The Socket mPGA479M went through another small revision to support the new Quads which had a different electrical pin-out compared to the DCs. Rest, everything is the same. (The socket physically looks the same though)
    I doubt there'll be another platform refresh.
