Intel recently announced their new "Clarksfield" notebook CPUs. "There'll be three chips, two regular quad-cores and a Core i7 Extreme that can run as fast as 3.2GHz in Turbo mode, which selectively shuts off cores and uses the extra power to speed up the remaining cores while preserving battery life." To make things even better, Gizmodo has just mentioned that the benchmarks show that these are the fastest CPUs to-date.  Check out what else they had to say here.

Update: According to Engadget, these CPUs are already available on some Dell notebooks. The Dell Studio 15 / 17 and Studio XPS 16 have new options for the Core i7 720QM 1.6GHz CPU and the Core i7 820QM 1.73GHz CPU. Check out the Studio 15 here, the Studio 17 here, and the Studio XPS 16 here.
