Intel to announce a 1333 fsb 3.0/3.33 ghz Conroe this week?

"The 700 also features a model of Intel's Core 2 Extreme processor series so new that Intel hasn't announced it yet. In fact, Dell is actually waiting for Intel to make the formal announcement - which could come this week."

Speculation...?

The 3.0/1333 fsb part is here (Woodcrest) so a split bin up 1 to 3.33 is certainly doable.. these things are hitting 3.6+ on air already anyway...

At minimum I think it will be a 3.2/1066 part....

I think all of that is word play,... i wouldn't read into it much, the fastest Conroe will be 2.93Ghz, you can always crank it up to 3.2Ghz yourself, i bet it would run fine on the supplied cooling solution, but .... why take chances, drop $60 on heatsink/fan that does a better job.

I bet its just an announcment regarding the current part we already know about. A cursory search and look at press releases doesn't show any actual details regarding the Core 2 EE. Likely there will be an "official" press release which is what Dell is reffering to.

Quite frankly I doubt Intel would release two EE's at the same time as it makes no sense.

As much as i hate macs and apple in general, this isn't Russia and he can keep his silly icon.

dang it wrong post lol. But it would be cool to see faster chips.

To clarify, I don't believe there are any official higher processors than the 2.93GHz Extreme Edition. What Dell is referring to is probably what he's been doing for a while, a factory overclocked and warrantied part, probably at 3.2GHz using a multiplier bump. This would be just like those 955EEs and 965EEs Dell overclocked and shipped as 4.26GHz Pentium Extreme Editions.

You do bring up a good point though... I think Apple could make a custom mobo for the macs with 2 of these bad boys on it. It would make the Mac a premium configuration
