I hear you, Joe:) I already accknowlegded Wouter Tinus' take and arguments (to look at Yonah as just a marketed development vehicle for Merom) have merits. Insofar, my level of conviction Intel does what it ever did is lower after this thread than at its beginning. Actually both assessments could be right indeed, as well: Merom (and Conroe) derived from Yonah die still fabbed for the rest of the node, but relegated to valuespace over time, the Merom/Conroe versions derived from Woodcrest(Server)-die for Desktop and mobile performance, beginning with EE and then penetrating performance segments from the top. In fact, I am currently leaning towards this stance.
