Absolutely nothing!
Has Intel said anything about expected speeds out of the new cores?
Intel has said that double the power is about a 30% speed gain though. If we use this rule, and have Yonah at 31W, 2.32Ghz and assume Conroe is around double in power, we get almost exactly 3Ghz. There was a rumor that Conroe has a longer pipeline than Yonah but this is an unknown at this point. It may be longer, but used for adding 64b and other features rather than higher clock speeds... I don't think anybody outside of INTC knows right now.
