Intel introduced the world's highest-performing mobile processor : Core™2 Extreme

Intel Corporation has introduced its first Intel® Core™2 Extreme mobile dual-core processor, adopting the brand from the company's flagship desktop offerings. Laptops are the fastest-growing computing market segment, and there is increasing demand from those who crave the ultimate in gaming and multimedia performance yet want the freedom and flexibility that a laptop brings.

The company also introduced new desktop processors and said it expects to announce battery-friendly quad-core processors for laptop computers next year.

The Intel Core 2 Extreme X7800 mobile dual-core processor, with both cores running at a brisk 2.6 GHz, also features mobile-specific power-saving features that help Intel's computer-maker customers deliver more energy-efficient and higher-performing designs.

For example, the Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processor X7800 offers up to 28 percent more performance2 than our previous-generation mobile processor. In addition, for experienced enthusiasts who desire more capability, the Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processor bus ratio locks (overspeed protection) have been removed3. This offers added technical flexibility in customizing the system so OEMs can unleash even more performance.
