When will the desktop Pentium-M be released?

[InlineFive]

And does anyone know the prices?

 

[butch84]

its a long long way off.... I would expect prescott to be intel's desktop cpu all of 2004 .... prices arent even on the horizon yet.

It may even be more than a long way off - there is very little market for a Centrino in a Desktop - low power consumption is not really a desktop issue since they do not run on batteries. IMHO, the market probably does not justify the investment.

They already exist...sort of:

Good luck finding a socket 479 motherboard...here is a tiny little one (at the bottom)

a fanless cpu would be awesome. 1 less thing moving and making noise

lol I don't think even dothan's are capable of fanless operation. Can anyone disprove me?

Why would you think in this way? They should run cool enough for a passive heatsink to handle.

they are planning on bringing the pentium m to the desktop, but you wont see them till 2005 in there dual cpu core chips, or so the rumors go

Found the link for the story

The 1.5+ GHz versions are going to be hard to cool passively, unless you start playing with airtunnels and stuff.

I want one because it would run cool and have excellent performance. In fact look at <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://

PorBleemo changed his post making my comments irrelevant

Por, remember IPC means nothing if the clock rate difference is so great...

It will be a .065 dual core chip, likely with more cache, much hihger clockspeed, and intels new Low-K technology. It will NOT be cool like the mobile versions of the chip.
