Based on 45nnm engraving and Core architecture those Santa Rosa-compatible processors will use 800MHz FSB, while clock speed should not really increase and top at 2.6GHz, cache memory/core will increase to 3MB. Those CPUs will also embark some SSE optimizations to boost performance especially for multimedia applications; but more importantly it should be less power-consuming giving longer battery life cycles.
Next evolution of Intel mobile platform will come mid-2008, entitled Montevina, it will replace Santa Rosa for high-end notebooks. Montevian will bring a lot of new features as well as support for many technology enhancements. It will be based on 45nm Penryn CPUs featuring 1066MHz FSB. Mo
