Post your comments for Intel to Deliver Quad-Core Chips for Laptops here

This should be interesting. Intel's Core 2 Duo chips run hot. I can only imagine what a quad will do. Maybe they've figured out a way to install a 5400 RPM fan on the back of a laptop? Either way, it will be interesting.

I wounder if the quad-core can heat my house(j/k). I would think where these would be bigger systems they could use the solid state hard drives to save on power. I also hope vista 64 or xp64 ships on these babys that way we can make full use of the chips.

cooling will be the major concern. You cant work with a duo laptop placed actually on your lap for more than one hour. It starts burning, what will happen with the quads.

my gateway after about 2 hours starts to get warm but not to hot where you can't tuch it

its not too bad -- i mean i've seen some really neat liquid cooling systems that allow for a quad core to run at ROOM TEMPERATURE -- infact i have one that i custom made and attached to my Q6600 on my desktop... what's better - the cooling system that i made needs NO additional power.. it's driven by the heat of the CPU. It's basically water in copper piping under a "Small" amount of pressure... and there are places that the pipe splits up to increase surface area. basically there is a 1 way "ball valve" in the tube... just before it enters the heat sink on the processor. so when heat from the processor expands the water, it doesnt recede, but goes ONE way pushing cooler water into the heat sink thru the one way valve. the heated water goes and travels in front of the cooling fans and is dissipated. =D i've overclocked my Q6600 (2.4 Ghz quad core) to 3.2 Ghz and it still runs at about the temp of a dual core =D -- so liquid cooling is the future of CPU cooling... =D that's all - and if they worked at that the quad core would easily fit in notebooks like the macbook pro... =D 1 inch thick yet the power of a quad core =D and it would be purely liquid cooled... making it 100% SILENT =P -- if you used a chemical solution, you could easily get better heat absorbtion. (i just used water and look what it did!!!!)

liquid cooling is the answer... i've overclocked my Q6600 on my desktop from 2.4 Ghz to 3.2Ghz. as unsafe as that sounds... i can now play crysis at full setting and because it's just water cooled it doesnt overheat.. i played crysis for 5 hrs on that thing one weekend... +D pure power. u can find liquid cooling at sites like frozencpu.com

hey anyone know how much a quad core would be in July 2009...thinking about buying a laptop then and wondering if it would be much cheaper then now
