Intel added a handful of new mobile chips to address both the desktop replacement and thin-and-light notebook markets, the company said Tuesday.

The new Pentium M chips -- 538, 532, and 518 -- offer support for Intel's Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology; a larger, 1 megabyte Level 2 cache; 13 new Streaming SIMD 3 Extensions (SSE3); enhancements to the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture; and speeds of 3.20 GHz ($294), 3.06 GHz ($234) and 2.80 GHz ($202), respectively.

Surely these chips aren't based on the Dothan chips we saw last month? Clock speeds are too high, and hyper-threading? Did I misread something? These can't be mobile processors? lol

Did anyone catch the below quote that was in the article?

"The chips also offer low-thermal technology to prevent the notebook from burning a hole in users' laps."

I thought that was a bit humorous.
