And future wonder processor Merom has appeared on roadmaps given to its OEMs for week 36, and seen by the INQ.

That roughly translates to mid-August 2006. My prediction is that Merom will end up in T and Txxp series, and that Yonah will power the X series for some time.

I hope the performance is good

The only other mention of Merom we saw in week 46 roadmaps was that Intel has added the CPU to support "mini entertainment PC platforms", scheduled for Q4 2006.

Looks like Merom on the desktop will be with us shortly before the 2006 holiday season. Hopefully I'll be able to build a home server with one of these things. It'll be great having a high performance machine that doesn't eat electricity like crazy [/url]
