Here's the much awaited processor that leads from the front with its expected cutting edge performance to become the fastest processor around. With a lower clock speed and higher power saving, the Intel Core 2 Extreme Edition processor is significantly better compared to any other desktop processor on the planet till date. It is also smaller in die size, has a lower transistor count—291 million compared to the Pentium D 900's 376 million. The Core 2 Extreme works at 2.93 GHz and 75 W rated power dissipation compared to the Pentium Extreme 965 that did 3.73 GHz with 130 W of heat. Regular Core 2 processors have a rated dissipation of 6 5 W.
