What, do you think, will be the significant difference(s) between the current Cores Duo, and Conroe? I read today that Intel has already released Conroe. Thanks! I love you all.

I bet we see a new Merom based iMac late this year then, weighing in at up to 2.3 GHz, and featuring about 40% better performance than today's best iMac. That's my guess anyway.

There is another thread around here somewhere where it was pointed out that Mermon is intended as a mobile chip and may have issues with running in multiple chip configurations. That would make it an unsuitable replacement for the Quad G5 machines. The next best bet is Woodcrest, due out later this years, as a replacement in the PM line.
There were rumors that Apple has tried to get Intel to give them Woodcrest early for use in new Macs, but failed.

While Apple is a great partnership for Intel, it is far from Intels biggest client and thus not their bread and butter. Intel will make the same amount of money whether Apple got Woodcrest early or at the same time as other vendors. The difference is that giving Apple privileges over Dell, HP, or other companies would cause bad blood with the big boys.
