Gamers, fasten your seatbelts. On Monday, Intel introduced a new Core 2 Extreme processor for notebook PCs, calling it the "world's highest-performing mobile processor." The company also introduced a new Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor and other desktop chips.
The Core 2 Extreme X7800 for laptops runs at 2.6 GHz, has 4 MB of L2 cache, and is targeted at gamers and digital artists. The chip's clock multiplier has been unlocked, meaning that the chip can be overclocked by laptop manufacturers for even higher speeds, if so desired. However, the company warned that pushing the processor beyond its specifications can cause component failure and other damage.
The Santa Clara, California-based company said that the X7800 provides up to 28 percent faster performance than its previous-generation mobile processor, and offers power-saving features that could come in handy for laptop users.
