Does anyone have an idea of when Intel intends to release its Yorkfield processor?

Or the Wolfdales (single die - dual core penryn)?

Thanks,

I have no specific info...but my common sense indicator suggests the release date will STRONGLY depend on when K10 is released across the various product segments and whether or not it gives Intel's 65nm products any serious run for the money when the performance/Watt metrics are tallied.

If K10 != C2D killer then Penryn will be released when it maximizes Intel's ASP.

If K10 = C2D killer then Penryn will be released ASAP.

So question is when will K10 be released and will it perform >, <, or ~= to the performance of already released 65nm C2D?

For example...AMD releases quad-father, Intel gets riled and announces V8...quad-father gets here and is evaluated, V8 goes nowhere except for the Mac Pro's that can be sold.
