Intel’s plans, revealed last year, to see quad-core mobile coming in the summer of 2008 were made just a little clearer. According to sources DigiTimes, Q3 will indeed see the launch of Intel QX9300 - effectively keeping exactly the same office that the nomenclature of the parts.

The QX9300 will, of course, be on the 45nm process Penryn and must also enroll in the same motherboard socket as dual-core offerings. More importantly, it will be running at 2.53GHz on a 1066MHz front-side bus and boast a huge (especially for a laptop CPU), 12 MB L2 cache.

It is expected to cost about $ 1000 in 1000-unit trays, which gives a rough indicator of the kind of notebook price range, it will be in a niche. While the system should be available shortly after the launch, Intel was not expecting mainstream adoption of the mobile quad-core before mid-2009, which seems a fair assumption.

Given the fact that third parties are already cramming office in quad-core systems such as Rock’s Xtreme Xl8, LED chips are undoubtedly a great appeal to the small number of buyers interested in owning such a machine. If you really need the best of the best in your mobile phone, you will be one of those wanting to get liberation.
