According to TG Daily, Intel has sped up its transition from the current processor models to the Core micro-architecture. Competition with AMD might be the reason.
So, the Conroe (desktop processor), the Merom (post-Yonah notebook processor) and the Xeon/Woodcrest (server and workstation processor) should be available for mass production in September. In other word, they should be available in small numbers in June (Conroe and Merom). Only 2 models will initially be available for the Merom, T5000 and T7000.
Apple might have to revise its entire computer models faster than usual in order to keep it up to date with Intel's processor offerings. Upgrading the MacBook and the iMac will not be difficult, since the Yonah and the Merom are fully compatible (pin-to-pin, chipset, hardware, architecture, etc...)
