It will be called the Core 2 Extreme QX9300 and will cost $1,038 when you buy a thousand of them. When just the processor starts at over a thousand dollars and you’ll probably want SLI graphics, a nice screen, and a bunch of other stuff, you’re looking at one pricey notebook.
It will be on the 45nm process and will operate at 2.53GHz. The processor will be in a P package and will have an FSB of 1066MHz.
You’ll get 12MB of L2 cache and a max TDP of 45 Watts. Sure, you’ll want one, but Intel says they won’t become mainstream until the second half of 2009, so I wouldn’t expect a price drop on notebooks with these processors in them until then, my only other advice would be that you’ve got 1 quarter or more left to save up if you absolutely must be on the bleeding edge.

We don’t need another fst CPU paired with cruddy Intel graphics. You can bet that this will happen and the ignorant consumer won’t know the difference. Don’t believe me? Check these links…
BusinessWeek: http://www.businessweek.com/ma.....046022.htm Basically shows that Intel cannot even play the Sims 2 correctly.
YouTube showing Intel’s game peformance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd0Of4PnpQk This shows that even on Intel’s latest G35, it cannot play recent games correctly.
