Merom vs. Yonah, Face Off for the First Time

Tgdaily has compared performance levels of a Core Duo 2.16 GHz (Yonah) vs. Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz (Merom).
If the Merom is slightly better than the Yonah for some benchmarks, it is less power consuming than the Core Duo. TgDaily has determined a gain of 7% which once translated into minutes will give a MB Pro an extra 15 minutes battery lifespan.
This test shows than the Yonah might quickly become for the Merom what the Celeron was for the Pentium-m.
