Intel this week launched its new Xeon 5500 series, which were previously known as Nehalem-EP, along with a handful of new mobile Core 2 Duo chips built around the 45nm Penryn core. Following the release, Intel has posted an updated price list reflecting the new CPUs.

Pricing for the new Xeon chips range from $188 for the entry-level E5502 (1.86GHz, 4MB L2 cache, 80W) on up to $1,600 for the flagship W5580 (3.2GHz, 8MB L2 cache, 130W). A total of 12 new 45nm Xeons have been added in all, covering just about every price point.

On the mobile front, four new Core 2 mobile chips have been added, starting with the Core 2 Solo SU3500 (1.4GHz, 3MB L2 cache, 5.3W) for $262. Other chips include the Core 2 Duo SU9600 (1.6GHz, 3MB, 10W) for $289, Core 2 Duo SL9600 (2.13GHz, 6MB, 17W) for $316, and Core 2 Duo SP9600 (2.53GHz, 6MB, 25W) for $316.

avatarThose Turion Ultra's; their gone!

I can't find AMD mobile cpu's on Newegg, Directron, Zipzoonfly like I used to. Going to the Amd link on Directron's mobile CPU page brings it back to the home page. Shame. If your laptop has DDR2 and a sempron you could drop a Turion X2 if the mobo supports it. I wonder what happened.

You can have your recession. I'm not participating.

This is a socket 1366 CPU but it requires a new motherboard with a different chipset right?  Does it also need FB-DIMMs?
