The 1.33GHz Core i7-660UM is due this fall, and shortly after, Intel is expected to launch a speedier version. The Core i7-680UM reportedly has two cores with a base clock frequency of 1.46GHz and a peak Turbo Boost of 2.53GHz, integrated graphics clocked at 166MHz but capable of overclocking to 500MHz, 4MB of cache, and an 18W TDP.
Fudzilla notes that the Core i7-620UM and 640UM have been available to manufacturers since the first quarter, but they've only surfaced in a handful of systems.

They really need to find a way to make chips go faster in general. My p4 was stock at 3.4. I know the architecture is more important but still. 1.4GHz!

GHZ isn't everything. Look at a 5GHZ pentium 4 against a 3GHZ Core i7.

Wow, seriously? that 1.4ghz will burn toast over the 3.4 ghz p4. If you havnt looked around there are several cpu's in the 3.2-3.4 ghz range today. And dont spout nonsense about the cost either, because 5 years ago a pentium D EE would cost 5-600 dollars for some versions that ran at 3.4Ghz+

Lol more like "Ultra-Slow" amirite?

its called a LOW VOLTAGE processor. This processor can be turbo boosted to 2.5 GHz, is hyper threaded with 4 virtual cores, and combines integrated graphics, all into an 18w TDP! 1.4 GHz is fast enough for most everyday tasks that a portable laptop will have to take anyways. Stop comparing it to $500 desktop processors with TDP's of 100 W for the processor alone.
