Intel said the first products to use this technology will likely be 35W mobile CPUs, with servers and desktops to follow depending on platform readiness. If your wondering if your motherboard will support Penryn, Intel expects some motherboard developers will have to make minor modification to support Penryn, which include some BIOS changes and perhaps electrical changes. Some of the current crop of LGA775 compatible motherboards are likely to work, however. It'll be a similar situation to the Conroe launch.

It's going to be another exciting year for Intel it seems. One of the main differences with Penryn is the transistor type, which has been slightly revamped so that it will greatly improve current leakage. One interesting note is that the 45nm are not far off... they were showcased in both notebooks and desktops, including a Quad-Core 1.86GHz 45nm. Hold back the drool
It's also interesting to note that Intel will be manufacturing these at three fabs by the end of next year, first beginning with D1D in Oregon. AMD... do you have something up your sleeve?
