The same socket used for Merom, Conroe, and Woodcrest (along with QC variants).

LGA 775 for Desktop, LGA 771 for Server/Workstation. I forgot what socket laptops used, I think socket 423?

Do you guys think they will release an LGA 775 Xeon Penryn? Im hoping for it as one of them looks pretty good at $206 Quad

AMD is not launching desktop K10 this year...so don't expect Intel to launch desktop Penryn this year either.

I can't find it right now, but wasn't AMD quoted as saying that Phenom launches 60-90 days after Barcelona?
