I want to know simply who the hell they did it. How did they get a core i7 920 chip into their laptop and on top of that keep it cool.

I don't know about you guys but I have a weird feeling that we will we see some heat issues coming from this one.

That doesn't mean anything. They're still mobile CPUs. Mobile i7 != desktop i7. There's no way that's a desktop chip.

There are 2.66GHz mobile i7's:

They both include Hyperthreading. So the 720QM is a Four Core/ Eight Thread CPU @ 1.6ghz. The 620M is a 2 core/ 4 thread CPU at 2.66ghz
