int CNET News.com reported today that Intel had announced the Core 2 Extreme X7800.

This is a 2.6GHz dual-core processor with 4MB of L2 cache and an 800MHz front-side bus … impressive!  The chip’s overspeed protection has been removed so you can really push the limits if you choose to overclock this baby but you are responsible for the consequences.  I’m not sure I would do that while under warranty … the cost of this processor is $851!

Like Intel’s other mobile product offerings, the Core 2 Extreme X7800 includes such power-saving features as a dynamic front-side bus, which lets the system drop into a “low-frequency mode” to conserve energy, and Enhanced Deep Sleep, which uses less power when the system is idle. Another feature, Advanced Media Boost, is designed to provide better performance for video editing, music, and photography, signaling Intel’s intention to market this chip for mobile workstations and multimedia laptops as well as gaming rigs.
