    Quad cores will be mainstream by next summer when Nehalem hits.

    I heard Penryn would bring about the first mobile Quad Cores, made possible by the power management features. I bet they'll save them for January 08. Barring that, Nehalem will surely add quad to the mix.

    I thought there was an AMD Mobile CPU coming out soon composed of four, Single-core dies in one package?
