"Presler, a Netburst-based Pentium D successor, will debut in Q1
2006 with many of the features outlined above. It's dual-core,
supports 64-bit x86, is built on a 65nm process, and includes the
security and virtualization technologies listed above. Cedar Mill
is a single core version of Presler that will debut around the same
time. Could either or both of these wind up in the PowerMac line?"
I hope Apple is very careful about using any core with the Pentium
4 lineage. That core has had less performance improvement over the
last two years than the 970 has, and while Apple makes it hard to
really compare the power levels I would be really surprised if the
P4 isn't hotter than the 970 as well. Netburst has been a netbust
so far.
The *very next paragraph* says that:
"I think the answer is, probably not. First, Presler probably will
not perform better on Apple's early 2006 application base than
whatever dual-970 solution that IBM will have out at the time.

Rather, Jobs' comments lead one to believe that Apple will start
releasing Intel-based PowerMacs in late 2006, which is right about
the time that Intel is planning to release Conroe."
That chip is NOT a netburst-based chip, but is the 64-bit desktop
evolution of the M which is a different design.
