I wonder whether this transplant might be supported and long lived? According to Tom's Hardware, the 2.6 G C2Q draws as much power at rest as the C2D running at full bore, so heat and PS might be issues.

Anybody here tried it yet?

Similar to the current Core 2 Duo processors that were launched on the Napa platform (which was introduced with Core Duo in January 2006), the 45 nm successor of Merom will launch on a refreshed preceding chipset platform. The mobile variant of Merom is expected to ship in the first half of 2008 in volume.

 

The processor will bring some enhancements in the performance (SSE4, up to 12 MB L2 cache) and power savings department. Intel also has decided to release a quad-core version for gaming notebooks.

 

Well whaddya know!
