That's right.

It is interesting to note that the pin configuration of this quad-core chip is entirely different than the dual core counterparts.

And some more on Penryn.

That page seems to imply there will be no mobile quad cores.

Must have been an old roadmap then. I hope they release pin-compatible versions for current Socket P C2D owners. Somehow, I doubt it.

From what I can tell Quad Core Mobile Penryn processors are tied to the Montevina platform. The different bus speed and pin-out lead me to say it won't work on Santa Rosa's Socket P.
