    Mine reports the same from CPU-z - My guess is that it's just a glitch in cpu-z cause of the 2.53GHz clock speed and the 1066 FSB. Cpu-z is probably reading that and defaulting to the T9400. I'm just guessing here.. but it makes sense.

    Yeah, CPU-Z 1.47 reads it as a Extreme (but gets a few other fields wrong), whereas 1.48/1.49 show it as a T9400, but in the ID string it clearly says Extreme.
