Proto-Montevina in new iMac?

[Winterpool]

This may belong in the 'All things Apple' ghetto, but I thought this might interest a more general audience.

MacRumours reports Intel provided 'early Montevina-like technology to iMac'. Depending on whom you ask, the new iMacs are built on an overclocked Santa Rosa / proto-Montevina chipset. Intel describes it as a special modification of Santa Rosa, rather than a proto-Montevina. This is probably most similar to how Intel specially shrunk Merom packaging for the MacBook Air (ie that wasn't an advance Penryn).

Anyhow, that explains how the new iMacs offer 1066 MHz bus speeds and a 3.06 GHz cpu. Who ever thought Apple would sell overclocked Intel kit to the masses?
