Rink, first you are wrong that Conroe will be restricted to a 65W
power envelope. That is for mainstream parts, but not high-end.

As for Merom, that one is restricted to a much smaller power envelope than even mainstream Conroe, and is thus not relevant to
determine how high Conroe will clock at its debut (that is btw. supposed to be later than Merom). The fact that Turion is currently restricted to 2.2Ghz doesn´t exactly mean that DT A64 will not get to 3Ghz (or 2.8Ghz already today). Actually, if you add 600Mhz to Merom´s speed, you get to 2.93Ghz, and that is what I expect for Woodcrest at launch. Conroe could be close or slightly higher clocked.
