Lost!
I was under the impression that Yonah was ment to be out and yet i've not managed to find chips or mobos relating to them??

In addition to this when is Conroe due out with its mobos for desktops specifically and is it best to wait for these?

As always the chips make their way to OEMs first and _then_ find their way to the retail channels. I'd guess OCUK will get stock as soon as possible and as soon as there is a motherboard available to plug them into.

Conroe is Q3, so still a while to wait.

isn't the intel duo thing in the new apple powerbooks basically a yonah?

EDIT: from macbook pro spec

Processor and Memory

1.67 or 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 2MB on chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed
667MHz frontside bus


Sounds like a yonah to me.

Where do Intel get the names for their chips from? Some of them sound pretty cool. Very '...field' orientated I notice :)
They use rivers (or atleast they did for earlier cores), and places in the USA and Canada.

thats not what its called anymore

now its 'intel core duo (or solo)'

the good names always get dropped for names that they can hammer into peoples head through adverts.

That's true but you'll find people here will still refer to the codename explicitly because over time the Core Due/Solo brand will have multiple revisions to its name - just like P4 has had Willamette, Northwood, Prescott, Smithfield and Presler :)

You are right but if you Google around the general concensus seems to be that Dothan, Yonah and Merom were names chosen by the Israeli engineers that developed them.
I am familiar with Merom and Dothan in Israel, never heard of Yonah though, but I find it spurious (and too much of a co-incidence) that they also share names with places in the USA.

Eurgh, I had a P4 2Ghz one of them, what a pos.

I bet my Northwood 1.8A with 1GB DDR RAM is about 2-3x faster than that thing :p You're right... the Willamette's were possibly the worst processor Intel have ever made. Luckily the Northwood was completely opposite :p
