Intel T9900 Core 2 Duo Notebook Processor Breaks the 3GHz Barrier

Intel unleashed a flurry of new processors at Computex, including the T9900 Core 2 Duo, which clocks in at a speedy 3.06 GHz—the first Penryn-based Core 2 Duo chip to do so.

In addition, Intel announced the P9700 and P8800 Core 2 Duo desktop processors, which have speeds of 2.8 GHz and TKTK GHz respectively, as well as the 1.3 GHz SU2700 ULV Pentium processor and accompanying GS40 express chipset.

UberGizmo says the SU2700 is the chip that will power the influx of ultra-thin laptops they’ve been touting as of late. But for the time being, that’s it for details. Pricing and availability will come later. [Intel via UberGizmo]
