07:20 ET Intel to consolidate chips for desktops and notebooks in 2007 -- Digitimes (INTC) 27.38: Digitimes reports that Intel is likely to give up its current practice of launching processors for desktops and notebooks respectively. Instead, the co is expected to launch a brand new processor, dubbed Merom, for all PCs starting 2007, according to sources at Taiwanese motherboard makers. The Merom will be made using a 0.65nm process and will run under the current architecture used by Intel's Pentium M processors, said the sources to paper. Intel's Netburst architecture that supports the Pentium 4 processors is likely to be phased out from the PC market when the Merom comes online, according to the sources. from briefing.com My comment - On the surface it sounds like a dumb strategy considering that Intel get's a premium for notebook processors.
