Intel has unveiled 11 new mobile processors for 2010 — five Core i7s, four Core i5s, and two Core i3s. The chief difference between these processors and their predecessors is the brand new architecture, which couples the 32nm processor and a 45nm integrated graphics controller onto a single chip.
To see how the new chips stack up, we tested a pre-production notebook provided by Asus, the K42F. It carries the 2.53 GHz Core i5-540M processor, and sports a 14-inch display with a resolution of 1366-by-768. The unit also contained 4GB of DDR3-1066 RAM, a 500GB hard drive, and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit).
