Montevina will not make it to Computex next week and will miss its originally planned debut date later in June. Intel has decided to delay Centrino 2, providing AMD with an opportunity to pitch its Puma platform and Turion Ultra processor.

It was supposed to be out on June 22nd, but 3 weeks delay is not a big problem in my opinion.

Centrino 2 processors will have lower power consumption than current intel processors. Also, most of those processors have 1066 FSB instead of 800 like the current ones

Will the Puma be Quad-core mobile?

Yea the top-end mobile processor will be a quad-core with 12MB cache

Delays are normal. When a chip comes out on time, THEN I am surprised.

Hmm.. looks to be a mighty fine cpu.. for a laptop that is

Puma is dual-core..........? I thought it was like a higher clocked, more power savings CPU, having ur notebook last 11 hrs with one full charge.
