[QUOTE="mac57, post: 545269, member: 17052"] In general, Penryn will be able to run faster while generating less heat, due to the smaller size. The first wave is supposed to support 3.33 GHz parts. There should be both dual core and quad core version. I suspect we will see the dual core Penryns show up in the iMac and the quad core ones into the Mac Pro. Initial tests I have seen show that the Penryn is about 10% faster in real world tests than an equivalent speed Conroe (today's Core 2 Duo). SO, if you don't need a new computer right now, sure, Penryn is worth waiting for. Let me vote with my feet - *I* am waiting for them before I get a new Mac. [/QUOTE]
