    I have a dv6700 with T7500. It was the fastest processor available when I got it. Seemingly how fast the technology changes. I dont have a notebook upgrade due till next year, but I am curious what processors intel is due to launch this/next year?? I think I am already getting pretty psyched about my next notebook :D..

    Calpella is the next platform, it features:

    Dual core Arrandale. 32nm and graphics are connected to the processor. Launches Q1 2010.

    Quad Core Clarksfield, in three speeds. 45nm (maybe 32nm) and has no graphics, needs dedicated graphics to function. Launches in Q3/Q4 this year.

    Can't Clarksfield use graphics that are integrated into the chipset? Like current intel chipsets with X4500HD or Nvidia 9400M chipset? If so, it would be no different than today's chips which use integrated graphics (just not integrated into the processor package).

    Clarksfield does not come with Intel graphics. Nehalem is a whole new beast. Dual core versions integrate the graphics into the cpu, which leaves quad cores with no graphics. So they need a dedicated graphics card to be able to work. It is very different from current cpu's and graphics chipsets.

    Will the new processor really be worth it? I heard the highest speed is 2.0 GHz, which makes me think that it be better to buy a QX9300 then wait for Clarksfield.

    How much speed increase will there be? Is it worth it over say a T9800 2.93ghz C2D?

    Yes the highest speed is only 2GHz, but the processor has a feature called Turbo Boost (watch the demo) that can increase speeds on cores being used.

    Some performance increases will come from the Hyper-Threading, die shrink to 32nm, 4/8mb of L3 cache, and more.

    Also, they will use less power:
