Intel is expected to announce the release of its 2 GHz P4-M on Tuesday 25 June, Australia time, and laptop manufacturers are gearing up to be the first to market.
Microsoft has reportedly set strict limitations on the specifications of the cheap subnotebooks that can carry its Windows XP operating system.
AMD has unveiled two new Phenom X3 8000 chips, the world's only triple-core processors.
Intel plans to release dual-core desktop chips for computers later this month in a move that seems calculated to prevent rival Advanced Micro Devices from claiming a first.

It looks great, it's easy to use, and it executes the home-theatre PC concept better than perhaps any other vendor's product. The only problem with Apple's Mac Mini Core Duo is that we're not sure there's enough big-screen TV-worthy content available via iTunes to justify the expense.
If you want beefy processing power without paying a premium for the latest Pentium 4 or Athlon system, then consider the Dell Dimension 4100, which is the fastest 1GHz Pentium III, Windows Me-based system we've tested. While it might not satisfy ardent home-theatre addicts, the system offers fine video performance and solid audio, although the included monitor had some problems. Even with a disappointing keyboard and merely adequate software bundle, the 4100's performance makes it a good value.
