At a Computex event today, Intel officially unveiled its 965 Express chipset (the P965, codenamed 'Broadwater') for use with its forthcoming line of Core 2 Duo processors. The company confirmed the accelerated launch schedule for the Core 2 rollout: Woodcrest (a Xeon replacement) in June, Conroe (for desktops) in July, and Merom (for laptops) in August. There's also an ultra low voltage Merom in the works for use in very thin portables from Dell and HP.

The Core Solo ULV chips consume 5.5 watts. Although not the same as the Core 2 Duo ULV, it does give you an idea of "how low."

definitely 64 bit capable, the EMT64 instructions are included at least in the conroe (desktop version), not sure if it's needed in laptop, you don't necessarily need to address much more than 4 GB of memory for a laptop is my guess, especially if you want good battery life.

take a look at the pic from tomshardware from a cpu-z output
i wonder how pissed off the super computer folks at Virginia Tech are now that their xserves are 5x slower and generate much more heat. for those of you that want used g5 xserves, you'll probably be able to get them discounted very soon. muhahahha

Looking forward to seeing an Arstechnica artical explaining the technology that Intel used vs. AMD using strained silicon and others licenced off IBM.
It would be nice to see Intel finally start using that much hyped CSI which is, according to Intel, mean to be the Hypertransport killer.
