The new chip set is the mobile version of Intel's G965 core logic, with enhancements added for improved power management, particularly of the graphics core.

The networking side has been updated to include 802.11n support, although final ratification of the latest wireless networking standard isn't expected until late in 2007.

The new chip set also supports an 800MHz front side bus, and will see the use of a new socket format, known as Socket P. Socket P is not backward-compatible with the current socket used in for the Core 2 Duo mobile line.
