Heard chip has low power consumption

I heard the power consuption is low for the chips under 3 GHZ, at those speed under 3GHZ, how does it compare to the current top of the line Yonah and could they use these chips in the Mac Book Pros???

Would be sweet if temps are about the same or lower. With the extra cache it may really fly.

Core 2 Duo chips have been delayed according to this.

Core 2 Duo chips have been delayed according to this.

Only by four days lol.

This is an interesting quote from the article:

Meanwhile, graphics core chipsets to support those processors - the G965 and entry-level Q963 - will also be introduced on July 27, the sources noted.

So does that mean that if, hypothetically speaking, the MacBook and Mini which use the GMA950, were to get Core 2 chips, they would also get these better G965 IG?

MacPro - Prototype!?

On TomsHardware.de (Germany) I found yersterday an comparision between an Dual (2xdual) Woodcrest system and one powered by an AMD Opteron.

The article says, the Woodcrest-system was delivered by INTEL for testing.
Given the rumors that Apple had outsourced the developement of the MacPro to Intel, and given the similarities of the "air-condition" in both the G5 PowerMac and this prototype, it COULD be the next MacPro in an ugly computercase. I am pretty shure about it, because INTEL founded an research-departement right there in Munic, where also TomsHardware is located.
