Intel to Launch New Mobile CPUs (Arrandale) in January?
Intel plans to launch four 32nm dual-core Arrandale CPUs (Calpella platform), the Core i5-520M, Core i5-430M, Core i3-350M and Core i3-330M, in the first half of January 2010 for the mainstream notebook segment, according to sources from notebook players.
The Arrandale CPUs are based on the advanced Nehalem architecture first introduced into Macs earlier this year. These new mobile processors are said to come in mainstream as well as low-voltage variants that will make them suitable for both the MacBook Pros as well as ultra-thin notebooks such as the MacBook Air. These new chips are expected to deliver significant performance boosts over the currently shipping Apple notebooks.Apple last updated the MacBook Pro line in June 2009.

It looks like the Core i3 components of Arrandale follow the desktop Clarkdale's lead of lacking Turbo Boost. What will Apple do without a nVidia chipset?
Between low power processors and SSDs, it shouldn't be long before computers like the MBA and smaller can offer very respectable performance.
32nm... It seems like just yesterday Steve Jobs was explaining how the whole industry had hit a brick wall when it came to implementing 90nm.

Core i7 620UM has 4MB of cache and that is the only major difference between this CPU and Core i4 520UM. However, Core i7 series will overclock better in Turbo and you can expect that 1.06GHz Core i7 620UM overoclocks to a whopping 2.13GHz when pluggged in or running at full performance settings, and all of this can be sustained with an 18W TDP.
Core i7 640UM will have the base clock of 1.2GHz and with the help of Turbo it will overclock all the way to 2.26GHz. The 620UM will sell for $278 while 640UM will end up at an acceptable $305. Both of them will most probably become a synonym for great performance.
