This week at the Hot Chips conference in San Jose, Intel revealed a bit of information about its upcoming Arrandale chip. Arrandale is set to offer two processing cores and graphics processing all in the same chip. It’s expected to be deployed on a wide spectrum of notebooks.

Arrandale, which is expected to offer lower cost and less power consumption, will likely begin shipping the first quarter of next year. Intel’s got a number of other chips in the pipeline, including Calpella, the next generation Centrino, due out next month, and Clarksfield, a high-end quad-core chip due out this fall.
