Intel Extreme Edition’s Overclocked To 3GHz

Intel has introduced the long-awaited Extreme Edition mobile processor. The standard Core 2 Extreme X7800 boasts 2.66 GHz clock speed, with 4MB of shared L2 cache. A 2.8Ghz version of the processor is expected later on this year 

Intended for gaming and high-performance laptops, the new model uses the 65nm process and has an 800MHz Front Side Bus speed. The new Extreme model replaces the 2.4GHz T7700 at the top of the Core 2 tree. As with other Extreme edition processors, the processor is unlocked - ideal for those looking to overclock it.

Indeed, it has apparently already been overclocked to 3GHz inside an Asus gaming laptop.
