News: Intel to Unveil Mobile Core 2 Extreme in Q3'2007


Recommended Posts

I somehow don't see why you need a chip with an unlocked multi in a notebook. Cooling is not good enough in those beasts to let any overclocking take place, so why?

What would be interesting however is if these chips work on desktop motherboards, as mobile chips are always cooler.

FYI, pretty much all mobile chips have unlocked multipliers.

 

Laptops use this feature to extend battery life by dropping the multiplier on the chip & thereby running @ a lower clock speed. This obviously increases battery life ;)
