Digitimes is reporting that the next versions of Intel ultra low power processor's pricing has been revealed today. According to their sources, Intel confirmed pricing for its small form factor (SFF) CPUs for the Centrino 2 (Montevina) platform.
Consuming 17W of power and costing about $300 in quantity, these 45 NM chips are likely to be placed in the MacBook Airs once made available. The chips are slightly faster and use significantly less power than the current chips, allowing the Air to run cooler and for longer on the same battery. They are expected to be ready in quanity in May or June.
