There is no news that some companies and individuals install mobile processors into desktops to make them quieter and keep power consumption low, while other are installing high-performance desktop chips into mobile computers in order to run demanding applications faster. Apparently, Intel wants to appeal both types of users with “Extreme” editions of its Core 2 chips for notebooks.
Along with the new mobile platform code-named Santa Rosa, Intel is projected to introduce Core 2 Extreme processors for notebooks (code-named Merom XE), which will deliver higher clock-speeds compared to their brethren among Core 2 Duo lineup. In the second or the third quarter of 2007 Intel will unveil the Core 2 Extreme X7800 chip with 2.60GHz clock-speed, 4MB cache and 800MHz processor system bus (PSB), while in the fourth quarter the chipmaker will release Core 2 Extreme X7900, a 2.80GHz version of the Merom XE processor, a news-story at HKEPC web-site claims.

IAWTP !!
Intel's Core 2 Extreme processors usually sell for $999. I doubt you were missing out on much. The Santa Rose platform with updated Merom processors and newer chipsets will be here soon.
