They seem to have revised Yorkfield from 3.46-3.73 to just "> 3.0" now. 3.5-4.0 57W though for dual core8O. They expect Wolfdale to come Q207, while quad Yorkfield comes Q307.

I wouldn't read too much into that because they don't list the X6800 or the Kentsfield QX6700, either - those are in the "enthusiast" segment, a notch above "performance".

They do list the top AMD bin this holiday - 3.0GHz Windsor - but that's simply because AMD doesn't have a core to match Intel's in the enthusiast segment.

This is a sort of humorous, but not totally unlikely, reading of the chart.

I'm sorry, but if these numbers are more-or-less right, somebody's having some serious problems with the SOI sauce.
