Intel Yonah Processor Launch on January 6th 2006?
CoolTechZone claims to have insider knowledge of Intel's official launch date of the newest processor from Intel -- codenamed Yonah.
The debut is expected on January 6th, 2006.
Yonah has been speculated to be used in the first of the Intel-based Macs in early 2006. Speculation began immediately after Apple's announcement that it was moving to Intel processors. Intel has outlined its processor plans in August.
Meanwhile, recent rumors have also expected that Apple will be launching its first Intel-based computers at Macworld San Francisco which (conveniently) takes place between January 9-13, 2006.
Intels Yonah is a dual-core chip based on the 65nm fabrication process. Yonah will also mark the first launch with Intels new strategy in place performance per watt.

Christmas comes in January? I can just imagine the atmosphere at Macworld just prior to the Stevenote. Just keep repeating "Less than a month"

I think Steve Jobs will be well received if he can proove with hard facts that the Intel cpu can outperform the G4 in the latest edition of the PowerBook, and the design of the new PowerBook looks out of this world.
Strange though how the PowerBook will get the Intel chip, while the PowerMac's have the Dual Core PPC MP's.
strange times indeed.

Because Mr. Steve made the Intel announcement 6 months ago, people will be expecting an update...and people tend to prefer something real and tangible, not Powerpoint (sorry: Keynote :)) charts.
Similarly, Apple very needs to motivate the Software vendors to get ready to roll out their Fat Binary style software revisions/updates. As such, Apple also needs to show off "Real Hardware" to them that actually might realistically be for sale soon.
Be that as it may, simply showing off hardware doesn't mean that it will ship anytime soon: witness the 1st Generation G5's. I'd expect that Steve's pitch will be something along the lines of "Coming This Spring", which means that they can be delivered "on time" anytime up to the day before the summer solstice (June 20th, 2006).

I expect no more than 4 weeks if so.
