Intel Mobile Processors
The mobile sector usually values battery life over top performance, so changes are less dramatic. Updates are once again in red, and you can refer to our last Intel Mobile/Server Roadmap for more information. We have split the mobile charts into two tables, one for the Banias/Dothan processors, which require less battery power and offer better performance at a given clock rate, and a second for mobile processors based off the NetBurst architecture. Intel refers to these as the "mobility" and "transportable" platforms, respectively, and we'll start with the former.| Intel Mobility Socket 479M Lineup | |||||

If you were unimpressed by the changes to the desktop roadmap, the mobile front has even less news. For the true mobility processors, the only new additions are the Celeron M 390 and the Pentium M 780. There are also several "greater than or equal to" entries in the latest roadmap. Whether those are uncertain due to manufacturing concerns or due to a lack of competition is up for debate. The Banias and Dothan cores were really designed with a set performance/thermal level in mind, so we do not find as much tweaking for higher performance as we see in the desktop sector. The 2.26 GHz of the Pentium M 780 is going to be very close to the maximum clock speed that the design can reach without a die shrink or a large increase in heat output.

Taking a look at the "transportable" processors, the only changes are the cancellation of the two fastest - and hottest - processors based off the NetBurst architecture. NetBurst was never really designed for the mobile sector, and most of the laptops that use these chips target the "desktop replacement" (DTR) segment rather than true mobility. The cancellations reflect Intel's acknowledgement of this fact, as well as their confidence in the Pentium M and Celeron M parts. They could have easily shipped these parts, but demand is simply not great enough to warrant it. Not only has Intel cancelled the 558 and 350 parts, but the entire NetBurst mobile line is scheduled to cease production in Q2'05. This is no real loss, as it means future laptops will simply shift to using more appropriate parts.

So the 6xx series is launching Q1 '05.Is that Jan, Feb, or March...or do we not know?

What about Sckt 478 P4s? There was some hint on X-bit that a 3.6 or 3.8 would be released?!JarredWalton - Wednesday, October 27, 2004 - link
You are correct, IntelUser, that the Itanium 9M is not shipping until November. In fact, all of the Itanium parts I listed as available are actually shipping in November with the exception of 1.6 GHz 3M DP chip. Stuff like that happens when you're trying to wade through large PDF files detailing the latest roadmap. Sorry - no one is perfect.As for the Dual Core versions being 24 MB of L3 cache, that is certainly one possible configuration. Since Itaniums currently ship with varying cache sizes (not to mention the redundancy build into the L3), "TDB" is always safer than specifying an exact value. When the roadmaps add a specific clock speed and cache size for Millington, we will update the charts. I would not be at all surprised to see more than one model of Millington come out late next year.

http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/list.asp?...There seems to be both 479-pin and 478-pin parts for the Dothan and Banias. I doubt you can fit the chips at Socket 478 since the notches for the Pentium M chips are different from the Pentium 4 chips. It was said at Anandtech's Dothan review couple of weeks ago. I have a feeling some people just post here without any knowledge about what they are talking about.
By the way, Madison 9M is not available, man just go to the Intel site. Madison 9M comes at November. It seems the reviewers are also flawed here, just like the readers.
L3's for the Itanium Dual-core is definitely 24MB(except maybe for the low-end or low voltage parts). There is no article I have seen that says its not 24MB except Anandtech.

The 5xxJ CPUs include EIST. Does that mean they'll have unlocked downward multipliers like Athlon 64's?johnsonx - Wednesday, October 27, 2004 - link
I noted that the title bar for the Dothan/Banias mobile parts chart shows '479M'. Is that a typo, or do the Dothan/Banias chips have an extra pin that prevents their use in a regular socket 478? I had thought that Dothan/Banias chips and Netburst chips were interchangeable with the proper mobile chipset and BIOS.Foxbat121 - Wednesday, October 27, 2004 - link
I was at Intel's web site a few days ago. The only 5xx processors that has data sheet or detail informations are step E-0 and M. Step D-0 for 550 or below are no longer listed.JarredWalton - Wednesday, October 27, 2004 - link
Regarding the "5xxJ" series being unavailable in the US, my *guess* would be that it's a combination of several factors. First, many sites may simply neglect to note the added support for XD and EIST. It was enabled on later steppings (E-0 for the Xeons, although I'm not sure if the stepping is the same on the desktop side).The other possibility is that Intel (and/or their retail partners) are still trying to clear out the old inventory of non-J processors before they begin offering the newer model. That would also explain why they're showing up in OEM systems before retail: OEMs sell the majority of Pentium 4 systems, as most people that buy parts for their own PCs are going with AMD right now.
That's all speculation on my part, but it would make sense. According to Intel, the XD/EIST P4 started shipping over a month ago. They *should* be available now, but they are difficult to find.

I'm also looking for 5xxJ series all over the web. It seems Intel releases these chips only to OEM , not retail, in US. But the retail 5xxJ processors seems readily available outside US for the same price as current 5xxE processors.Illissius - Wednesday, October 27, 2004 - link
Personally I hope they keep the x20-x30-x40 etc naming scheme, but only because I want to see a processor called the x86 (fat chance, I know, but one can hope) ;).
