Intel is actively discouraging sales of its new Huron River chips, according to sources at notebook manufacturers, despite machines based on the new processors expected in early Q1 2011. DigiTimes sources claim that ASUS, HP, Dell and Acer will all continue to push existing Calpella-based notebooks for the next three months, as Intel reduce Huron River discounts in an attempt to clear sixth-gen Centrino chip stock.

Intel pricing Huron River out of the game as Calpalla stocks won’t shift?
Intel freeze CULV refresh over Calpella success?
Another rumored blow to Intel's CULV range of ultra-low-voltage processors for ultra-thins, as DigiTimes' sources at notebook manufacturers claim the silicon company have delayed the launch of a new CULV line-up. The decision - which would push the new ultra-thin CPUs back into Q3 2010 - is blamed in part on Acer's decision to eschew the CULV chips in favor of low-voltage Calpalla-series processors for their newest TimelineX notebooks.

Intel Core i3, i5 & i7 notebook CPUs in short supply?
Acer's enthusiastic embrace of Intel's latest Core i3, i5 and i7 "Calpella" notebook processors for their upcoming TimelineX range has seemingly thrown the chipmaker's production lines into a panic, with DigiTime's manufacturing sources reckoning that the CPUs are now in relatively short supply. That's led Intel to prioritize the orders of first-tier manufacturers, meaning it may take a little longer for niche market notebooks to arrive.

Acer TimelineX 3820T, 4820T and 5820T get quietly official [Update: they've been pulled]
Someone at Acer US should check their calendar, because while the company's TimelineX notebooks aren't expected to make their official debut until March 22nd, they've already shown up on the company's site. As expected, along with the 11.6-inch TimelineX 1830T from yesterday, there's also a 13.3-inch TimelineX 3820T, 14-inch TimelineX 4820T and a 15.6-inch TimelineX 5820T.
Update: Looks like whoever is responsible for the site has spotted the error - the new machines have been taken down.

Remember yesterday's Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T leak, the first of the company's so-called Calpella series using Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors we've been hearing about lately?

Acer Calpella ultraportables confirmed for end of March
Acer have confirmed their rumored Calpella ultra-thin plans, paving the way for a range of speedy yet ultraportable notebooks launching later this month.

Acer Calpella Slim ultraportables coming Q2 as 13, 14 & 15 inchers
Further details on Acer's tipped range of MacBook Air toasting ultraportables have emerged, again courtesy of DigiTimes' shady sources in the notebook industry. According to the latest information, Wistron and Quanta have been roped in to produce the Intel Calpella based machines, which will be available in 13-, 14- and 15-inch sizes and are expected to launch in Q2 2010. The key selling point will be the extreme thinness of the notebooks: less than 1-inch thick at their narrowest point.
MSI Mobile Core i7 Confirmed for Windows 7-based Notebooks
With the release of Windows 7 coming up pretty quickly here, we're just like everyone else in hoping that while the Operating System is getting upgraded, the machines running them don't get left in the dust. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be the case, at least not with MSI, as they move forward and confirm the introduction of the Mobile Core i7. It's not groundbreaking or anything (is there much that is, anymore?), but at least we get something new to look forward in the architecture point of view.
