Intel Launches Mobile Core 2 Extreme X7800

The Core 2 Extreme Mobile Processor X7800 uses the same PGA Socket-P packaging as other Merom-based mobile processors and it is compatible with existing mobile platforms, but it has been qualified with the Intel GM / PM 965 Express chipset..  When used in conjunction with a compatible chipset, the processor's dynamic FSB switching feature offers improved power savings while in active mode, through the use of a lower CPU voltage and reduced FSB speed.  The processor's enhanced deeper sleep state (DC4) offers improved power saving while in idle mode as well and also allows the chipset to power down with the CPU when in the LFM state.  The sum total of the new Core 2 Extreme Mobile Processor X7800 is a faster Intel mobile platform designed for DTR notebooks. The CPU will be priced at around $850 and Intel expects notebooks built around the Core 2 Extreme Mobile Processor X7800 to be available within the next few weeks.  The official press release is available here.
