Intel launches 15 new 45nm processors this coming week. We have managed to get a laptop ahead of the official launch date packed with the 
Penryn Core 2 Duo X9000 2.8GHz Extreme Edition.
The official stats show a huge improvement in the power of the CPUs.
We will be benchmarking the laptop as soons as it arrives tomorrow morning.
The processor should rank considerably higher than any Mobile processor that has come before it if the benchmarks are to be believed - filling the void for cpu/laptop enthusiasts/overclockers.
Intel has also released a batch of new quad core and dual core processors, some with a huge 12mb of top level memory.
