Anandtech has put its hand on a Yonah sample, the successor of the current Pentium-m. The reason that we are mentioning it, is simple, it could simply be the first x86 processor sporting the first MacIntel.
This processor is engraved with a 65nm process and feature 2 cores (single core version will exist for entry-level) It also sports 2Mb of cache shared by both core and it supports SSE3 instruction sets.
Without rewriting Anandtech's article, the Yonah seems to perform well, and in many test can directly compete with an Athlon X2.
In addition its power-consumption is really well managed, and it does drain that much power; making its ratio performance/power very promising for a notebook processor.
It is not clear at all if this processor will be installed in a future Mac mini x86 in early 2006, it might be too expensive for that purpose.
