Tem muita coisa sobre o tao acalamado Yonah e os Dual core.

Desktop:

* Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processors are now simply named Pentium Extreme Edition. Although these processors are nothing more than best of breed server and desktop cores, they will now have their own product category at least. (This started with the most recent dual core Pentium XE)
* Pentium 4 now only refers to the single core Prescott and upcoming 65nm Cedar Mill cores. Pentium D will refer to Smithfield and 65nm Presler
* All 5x1 processors are now 64-bit enabled
* All 6x2 processors are now VT enabled
* All 6x3 processors are 65nm Cedar Mill (which has VT enabled)

Yonah:

Intel is launching two chipsets dedicated specifically for small form factor notebooks and PCs; 915GMS (soon) and 945GMS (Q2'06). 915GMS utilizes single channel DDR2-400 and 400FSB, while the much more powerful 945GMS will use single channel DDR2-533 and a 667FSB. For laptops, avoiding dual channel memory isn't a bad idea, but judging by the performance increase we saw when running Dothan on an 865PE motherboard using ASUS' adapter, Pentium M can certainly make use of additional memory bandwidth - compression, games, and workstation tasks all showed pretty significant performance increases.

No artigo tao depois os Roadmaps de todos os processadores da Intel para este ano e 2006.
Os Yonah parecem muito potentes, mas depois toda a plataforma deve vir extremamente cara. 31w para as versoes normais e 15w para as Ultra Low-voltage.
Os clocks serao parecidos as do Dothan, mas a multiplicar por 2 o nº de nucleos
