I think you'll find the Extreme edition supports 1333MHz DDR 3 natively, and up to 1800/2000MHz on some enthusiast motherboards.

So Quad Cores using "no more than 65w" are "energy efficient" and Intel are happy to push the market to 135w processors.

People were amazed at the original Pentium prolific 60w consumption. Seems a bit strange to re-label prolific as energy efficient. Looks like we ought to get CO2 emisions on the label and charge penal taxes on the leccy-guzzlers.

Mines the one with an (eeepc 901) Atom in the pocket.

May I refer Stuart to BOFH Episode 4...
