Outside of using a desktop processor in a mobile form factor, the fastest notebook chip you can get is Intel's Core i7 920XM, which comes clocked at 2.0GHz at stock and 3.2GHz with Turbo Boost. That will change in the third quarter.
According to reports. Intel is gearing up to launch its Core i7 940XM, another quad-core mobile Extreme Edition processor that will serve as the company's flagship laptop chip. For its upcoming part, Intel has goosed the clockspeed slightly to 2.13GHz, with a Turbo Boost frequency of 3.33GHz.
The 940XM will come with 8MB of cache and carry a TDP rating of 55W, meaning notebook makers hoping to use the part better make sure they pay attention to their cooling scheme. Pricing has yet to be announced, and so has the exact release date, but look for this one to most likely run in the range of $1,050, with the 920XM probably facing a price drop.
