Intel to Offer Quad Core Mobile CPUs in 2008?

On Intel's 2008 roadmap is a quad-core 45nm Penryn mobile processor aimed at high-level gaming and mobile workstations.
The quad-core mobile chip will likely be different in some way from Intel's current desktop and server quad-core chips, which strap together two dual-core dies inside a single chip package. One possibility is the release of a quad-core chip on a single silicon die - something that Intel has hinted will come in the future, but has so far not discussed in concrete product terms.
Wow, that will be a sight to behold if Intel can pull this off without cooking a user's kneecaps and thighs to a crisp. Hopefully by the time this CPU comes out there will actually be software written to take advantage of multiple threads.
The heat that will be generated from this thing will be amazing, but I'm sure with some killer cooling Intel will bring this to market and all of us will have to pick our collective jaw off the floor.
