“This CPU launches in Q1 2010 and will be the king of the ultra-thin, “Ultra-Mobile” (UM) performance market. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that it looks like the best mobile chip ever made by Intel, as it has runs dual cores at 1.2GHz default clocks but with Turbo mode, it can overclock all the way to an astonishing 2.26GHz per core.

All of this can be done in under an 18W TDP envelope which is a great number considering that the integrated graphics core (IGP), integrated memory controller (IMC) and northbridge (IOH) are all part of this 32nm Arrandale-based CPU.”

My guess is that HT will be enabled so that it can be marketed as quad threaded or some clever way of implying that it has four cores, without outright making such a claim.

Intel must have something else up its sleeve for Apple’s high end line.
