Turbo Boost at the maximum clock of 3.2GHz. Each in 1,000-unit quantities of 102,320 yen.

The 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Core i7 620M that will overclock to 3.33GHz might easily end up as fast as the much more expensive Core i7 Extreme 940XM that will launch soon.
http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/17848/41/ There is no documentation by source for the claims for the i7 620M; further, Intel states that the 940XM is to be automaticaly overclocked and limited by temperature increase.

The Dell Alien i7 series Laptop has not been fitted with "Intel's XMP CPU".
