The POWER6 isn't a general use processor like the G5 was. You'd never see it in an Apple desktop anyway. It is very good at one thing, but not at lots of different code. 4.7GHz would seem slow.

That screams defective video card. The core is overheating for one reason or another. Ask Apple if you can just bring the video card in.

If there won't be a Core 3, then what's the differentiation between the lower speed/performance Core 2 parts and the new Penryn line cores? I think Core 3 sounds logical.
