intelIntel officially introduced the Core i7 for portable computer.  The processor with code name Clarksfield is known as the fastest for mobile platform.  Intel introduced a newest member family of Corei7 in Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2009 which was held in San Francisco, September 22-24th 2009.  There were 3 variant of Corei7 which is introduced by Intel, namely: Corei7 920XM, Corei7 820QM and Corei7 720QM.

Shmuel ‘Mooly’ Eden, the Vice President and General Manager Mobile Platforms Group, Intel Corporation, said that Core i7 in laptop is available for those who want the high performance of computer to carry.

The recommended feature from Core i7 for laptop is Turbo Boost and Hyper Threading.  Turbo Boost allows the processor speed increase dramatically if there is a core that is not in used.  Then, Intel showed the speed of Core i7 920XM2.0 GHz that can increase up until 3.0 GHz.  The increased speed occurred in some process, such as photos batch editing or another application that run only one core.

Core i7 for mobile device is a part from Nehalem microarchitecture which had already touched the desktop and server group.  In that IDF, Intel also demonstrated the next generation of Core i7 Mobile.  In the future, the Microprocessor codenamed Arrandale, will be adopted Westmere microarchitecture and 32nm production process.

The 2.93GHz Core i7 940 processor is one of three desktop chips based on Intel's Nehalem microarchitecture that were released in late 2008. Designed for high-end PCs, the chip includes an on-chip memory controller and support for DDR3 memory and Intel's QuickPath Interconnect technology. The last date for customers to confirm orders for the Core i7 940 will be Sept. 4, Intel said in a notice. "We have communicated our shipment plans for Core i7 940 to our customers. It is actively shipping and will ship through 2009.," Intel spokesman Nick Jacobs wrote in an e-mail. The Core i7 940 was caught between two more successful products. The 940 didn't sell as well as the 2.66GHz Core i7 920, which was significantly cheaper, and it couldn't match the performance of the 3.2GHz Core i7 965 Extreme Edition, according to a source at a Taiwanese motherboard maker. Intel is expected to release more advanced desktop chips based on the Nehalem microarchitecture later this year. In February, the company announced plans to accelerate its shift to a 32-nanometer manufacturing process and the upcoming Nehalem desktop chips, called Clarkdale, will be produced using this process. The more advanced manufacturing process means Clarkdale should run faster and consume less power than existing Core i7 processors.
