Intel's launch of the Core 2 Duo processor for desktops garnered high acclaim from the media including our own resounding praise and endorsement. Today we've taken a look at Intel's new Mobile Core 2 Duo processor, formerly known by the code name of Merom and it looks to be cut from the same cloth, or should we say die, that Conroe was. Here's a snip from the article...
"When you consider the fact that both Yonah and Merom both are built on Intel's 65nm process and that Merom has an additional 2MB of L2 cache, along with EM64T support, Intel's design engineering triumph with Core 2 Duo becomes crystal clear. Intel's Mobile Core 2 Duo offers more processing power, capacity, features, and does so at power parity versus their legacy mobile Core Duo architecture."

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
