Intel Chip Delivery Moving Up?
According to the article, Intel is planning on delivering Woodcrest (server) in June, Conroe (desktop) in July, and Merom (mobile) in August. Apple is expected to take advantage of these new processors for upcoming designs.
Beyond these expected updates, Intel is aggressively working towards future architectures:
It has large teams working on the next two microarchitectures, he said. Every two years Intel will bring out a new microarchitecture.
This year's processors will start at a 65-nm process and quickly move to 45-nm. All future processors are optimized for performance-per-watt -- one of the features that attracted Apple to Intel's processors.
Of additional interest, Intel also has over 1000 people working on next generation Handheld devices with consumer pricepoints. The goal will be an "always on" architecture consuming only 1/2 of a watt. Apple has no announced plans to again enter the handheld market, but rumors of an Apple tablet or handheld regularly recur.

Could this mean the release of an Intel PowerMac this summer? It would be great to see Rev. A and B hit stores by the end of this year. :D
Imagine... a 45nm Intel core quad in the 2007 MBP's!!!
WOW. But wudn`t that make my new MBP so obsolete...Wait..... I dont have a MBP.:o

Now I was thinking why not release the processors in reverse order. ie Merom in June,Conroe in July, Wood in Aug. Actually dont even care bout Conroe n Woodcrest. Lets get the Meroms ASAP in the MBP.
:o
This is why I still use a PowerBook 100. Every time I decide to buy something word comes of something much better just a little ways off in the future.
:o
well then you'll just miss out on all the fun ;)
