    extreme edition processors have always been more willey waving than actual tangible benefits..

    Remember the Intel EE 3.73Ghz and the EE 840? boy those chip had seriously silly prices.. and being relatively slow as well if you compare them with their AMD FX-55 and AMD 4800+ then..
    Me want Ultrabook
