Intel could soon be releasing a Quad Core chip designed for laptops. Rumoured to be called the 'Core 2 Extreme QX9300' it uses 12MB L2 cache, a 1066mhz FSB and will be running at a speed of 2.53GHz. The processor will be on a 45nm die with a maximum TDP of 45W.
Now, the gossip is that these processors cost a small fortune, around £500 per chip. That is the price for motherboard manufacturers buying them in batches of a thousand. Whether we will be seeing these laptops soon or not is anyone's guess, but I am sure we can all agree these chips will most likely be inside laptops designed for extreme users (hence the name) and not the average Joe consumer.
