    Interesting that Montevina 2 isn't doing as well as expected. Could it be maybe because they still sell old processors like T3200s in most of the notebooks at the stores?? :rolleyes:

    If you buy from stores, you will get outdated stuff. At my local Best Buy, they still have laptops with GeForce 6150s. There is very little difference between the P- processors and their T- counterparts. 25W vs 35W TDP isn't major.

    I'm looking forward to Capella though. There's supposed to be a mainstream quad-core for that platform.

    Its not just due to that but economic crisis has impacted all the makers with lower sales rates
