Intel’s first mobile quad-core CPU is preparing to get released in Q3 this year, but the company isn’t expecting it to become a standard for high-end notebooks until Q3 2009. The 45nm 2.53Ghz Core 2 Extreme Q9300 will support FSB speeds of up to 1066Mhz and feature 12MB L2 cache, with a max TDP of 45W, being priced at $1,038 in bulk. It’s headed to pricy notebooks, designed especially for gaming and other advanced tasks, that need a lot of resources.
