New Pentium M Dual core announced, will m70 take it?

OK so I don't expect anyone to be able to answer this just now, but I love good theorizing

From the Intel Channel information sent out it says we'll need a 945 chipset to be able to take these

I suppose we'll know more if Dells online configuration page changes to include the new dual core cpus.

The other thing is that they'll be 667FSB not 533, and I don't think there's any kind of future proofing built in in that way on the M70.

Still, anyone got any thoughts on this.

I think Dell would rather come out with new models than recycle old ones. Since they are not pin compatible, they might just come out with a new design to replace the old one.

The answer is "no" unless you upgrade the motherboard. That's not a Dell problem, but rather an Intel one.
