Intel Core 2 Extreme X7900

The Intel Core 2 Extreme X7900 was the fastest laptop CPU in 2007 and is based on the Merom core. The power consumption is higher than other Core 2 Duo processors and as all Extreme series CPUs the X7900 offers a free multiplicator (for easy overclocking).

Compared to CPUs of 2009, the X7900 is on a level of the cheaper Core 2 Duo P9600 / T9550 featuring 2.66 GHz.
