Intel’s Dothan Chip Expected In May

The latest notebook chip from Intel will come out May 10, according to sources, along with price cuts and a new naming scheme.

Dothan is a new version of the Pentium M chip for notebooks. It will come with 2MB of cache, a pool of memory near the processor, and run at 2GHz, according to sources. Models running at 1.8GHz and 1.7GHz will also debut while cheaper, less speedy models will appear in June. Current Pentium M chips come with 1MB of cache and top out at 1.7GHz.

    mmonnin The Pentium M is like the best thing Intel ever designed. Hopefully they didnt change anything to make it worse with the Dothan core.
