The Extreme Edition's codename is "Gallatin", which is a "Northwood" core with 2MB of L3 cache, both are built on the 130nm process and have 512KB L2 cache. The "Prescott" core is a 90nm process chip with 1MB L2 cache.
I think Intel are in the process of changing the Extreme Edition, as it will be based on the "Prescott" core later.
