BANGALORE, INDIA: Chipmaker Intel would launch four 32nm dual-core Arrandale CPUs based on its Calpella platform in January, according to reports.

The Core i5-520M, Core i5-430M, Core i3-350M and Core i3-330M are being targeted for the mainstream notebook segment, said Digitimes. The Core i5-430M runs at a clock speed of 2.26GHz, but it can be boosted with Intel's Turbo Boost to 2.53GHz for a single core.

The Core i5 and i3 processors are being engineered for mobile use, specifically targeting the notebook market. Intel hopes that these new CPUs coupled with Microsoft's Windows 7 will increase demand for notebooks.

According to Digitimes the entire range of the new chips will support 1,066MHz DDR3 memory. It also noted that the Core i5-430M processor will have a single-core clock speed of 2.26GHz, with speeds of 2.53GHz being achievable thanks to Intel's Turbo Boost.
