According to reports, Intel is making headway in putting a Core 2 Extreme chip in your portable. It is also time for mobile gamers to start saving up.

Two versions should be available: The Core 2 Extreme X7800 runs at 2.6GHz, while the X7900 screams in at 2.8GHz. Both chips have 4MB of L2 cache and work on an 800MHz front side bus mainboard. The former is speculated to have a launch price of US$795 and notebook makers should be able to have dibs come Q3 this year. Information on the latter processor was still unavailable at press time.
