Hi all, trying to decide whether to buy a Montevino MBP this fall, or wait for Nehalem. If MBPs are going to get Nehalem first half of next year, it's worth it to me wait a few more months for that. Anyone heard anything about this?



Edit: Just checked Nehalem on Wikipedia, looks like the mobile versions are due out in Q3 2009:

    Yeah, you might be waiting up to a year.

    Ditto. At least a year until the die shrink 32nm Nehalem (Westmere). The initial 45nm Nehalem TDP is really not suitable for thin mobile platform. If you are looking for Nehalem micro architecture improvement, your best bet is wait for Westmere due Q1/2 2010

    Thanks guys, will look forward to the refresh in a few weeks/months, and consider a Nehalem upgrade in 09/10.

    I doubt Intel will skip all the way from Penryn to Westmere. I can imagine a dual-core mobile Nehalem in Q2 2009.
