Apparently the highest end engineering samples are running at 3.33GHz. I'd expect about 3GHz for what Apple uses. I'm also predicting similar performance/clock to Core Duo. This is pessimistic, but I'd prefer to be impressed than disappointed.

So, my prediction as of Feb. 1st for what top end Intel Mac performance will be by Jan. 1st 2007: 4 cores, each pair of which is 50% faster than the Core Duo in the 20" iMac. Also, less power usage than the current quad.
