First Intel Mobile Quad-Core Processor Coming Soon (Zoooom)
In addition to bragging about how awesome and zippy (while only power-sippy) Centrino 2 is, Intel execs also slipped that they'd be launching a set by the end of the quarter with their first mobile quad-core processor. Thanks to its hardcore power management on the Centrino 2, you'll actually be able to run four cores with more than 15 minutes of battery life. Also, Centrino 2 with integrated graphics will be available in "the coming weeks" after suffering some explode-y problems, leading to its initial delay. [PC Mag] -

Intel's Centrino 2 Gets Official Launch, Alongside Core 2 Extreme
We learned in May that there would be delays to Intel's Centrino 2 chipset for notebooks, but today it gets an official launch from Intel. That certainly tallies with the slew of notebooks hitting the news which have the chips inside. Alongside the Centrino 2, Intel gives us word on the Core 2 Extreme, which runs at 3.06 GHz and the Mobile Intel 45 Express Chipset and wireless Intel Wi-Fi Link 5000, and the WiMAX/Wi-Fi Link 5050 chipset that supports the Centrino 2 to support WiMax and Wi-Fi operations. Since Intel plans to release eight processors over the next 90 days, there'll be lots more news like this. Press release below. More » -

Intel's Mobile Core 2 Extreme Will Give Lappies a Shot of Adrenaline
Mobile gamers listen up. Intel's prepping a mobile version of their Core 2 Extreme processor. It's expected to give laptops (gaming laptops in particular) a nice shot of adrenaline without zapping your battery (Intel claims the dual-core CPU will have energy-saving features). It'll use Intel's Santa Rosa 800MHz front-side bus, though actual clock speeds are still up in the air. It's expected to come out in Q3, so you might wanna wait if you're shopping for a gaming notebook. More » -

Fastest AMD Opteron vs. Intel Core 2 Extreme: (Verdict: Close, But Too Close)
AMD Opteron 2220SE 2.8GHz processors make their debut on the just-released HP xw9400 Workstation today, and they were tested on content creation benchmarks against the Intel Core 2 Extreme processor. The result? Even with two of the latest Opterons chugging away, the xw9400 barely beat the 2.93 single-processor Core 2 Extreme Precision Workstation 390 from Dell, and was even soundly beaten on some of the tests.

Shuttle SD37P2: Smallest Core 2 Duo Case Evar
Looking for a PC built around the speedy new Core 2 Duo processors from Intel, but don't have much space? Shuttle may have the answer with the SD37P2 PC barebone system, which includes the motherboard and the case. The new system announced today in Europe supports all of the Core 2 Duo processors (including the super-fast Core 2 Extreme) in a case no bigger than a toaster. The system also has two PCI Express X16 slots and supports ATI's Crossfire dual graphics card technology, so you can build a kick-ass gaming system in a case less than nine inches high. The case costs 419 (about $537). More »

VoodooPC's Intel Core 2 Extreme-Based Omen Desktops
VoodooPC has announced the availability of Intel Core 2 Extreme-based high performance desktops. Part of the Omen series, the desktops are among the first to make use of Intel's just-announced Core 2 CPUs. As is always the case, being a member of the early adopter club comes at a hefty price, with base configurations starting at $4,400 and going all the way up to $6,000. A mere bag of shells, really. The systems use Core 2 Extreme CPUs running at 2.93 GHz. Other specs include an 80GB, 7,200 RPM hard drive, 16X dual layer DVD burner and 2GB of RAM. Users can choose between ATI and nVidia cards, with the GeForce 7900 GT hovering on the high end. More »
