In the meantime, Intel announced new details of its forthcoming Santa Rosa PC platform, including a significant revision of the Core 2 Duo chip.

One advantage of a flash cache is that it eliminates the need for the drive to spin up every 10 minutes (by default) in laptop mode, while eliminating the danger of losing data while in laptop mode, in the event of an unexpected power off.

That's more important to me on a mobile device than the speed issues.
