Yonah seems to be the hot topic of the moment, and the only problem I see is that people keep re-treading the same old information as before, usually pilfered from Intel roadmaps. Yippee, I am beside myself that there is yet another slew of stories saying that it will be out "later" at an undetermined clock speed.
That's not the information that the INQ has, and we feel it is our duty to set things straight. First, Intel has Yonahs listed as X20/30/40 and 50 at unlisted clocks. They are unlisted because Intel is not sure how well they are going to bin out yet. The target is 2.5GHz, but one speed bump up or down is entirely possible now, so if there is a 2.33GHz or 2.67GHz part at launch, don't be all that shocked. This would put the X50 at 2.5GHz optimally, X40 at 2.33, X30 at 2.17 and the lowly X20 at a mere 2.0GHz. In case you hadn't guessed by the numbers, the bus is 667MHz. Read on at TheInq
