Intel Releases New 1333FSB Line-Up and X7800 Mobile CPU

Intel today announced the launch of their latest high-end processor, the Quad-Core QX6850. The CPU clocks in at 3.0GHz, a mere 70MHz above the previous top-end QX6800. Is it drool-worthy? Oh yes. It’s hard to benchmark a processor like this and not have a wide grin. We took a hard look at the new CPU, which you can read here.

Next up for Intel is their Penryn CPU’s, which are based on a 45nm process and brings a slew of new features to the table. Also announced today is the first ‘Extreme’ processor to hit a notebook, the 2.6GHz X7800. It sells to retails for $831 in quantities of 1,000, so it’s not going to be a cheap offering. On the bright side though, it has an unlocked core and can take care of your overclocking obsession, even while on the road.
