The i7 2629M & 2649M SNBs were announced at CES but I have yet to see any being available for new notebooks, or even any listed in benchmarks.

Intel recently released new members of the ULV (17w TDP) not even announced until May - so why are we not seeing a LV option in Notebooks ?

I saw the CPU-World listings months back, including the 17W models - but mere cpu listings doesnt mean availability ! If the 25W TDP CPUs WERE available in laptops they would almost certainly be listed in the notebookcheck.net CPU Benchmarks - but they are not, which leads me to believe Intel have not yet released them. so my question is : why are we not seeing a LV option in Notebooks ?

Although Intel claim to be pushing low power consumption, their initial Sandy Bridge availability in January was only the 4-core power guzzlers, holding back on the still power-hungry 35W TDPs, and only recently releasing some of the ULVs (17W) to Apple & Samsung. Still no LVs !!
