It's a bit confusing because some of the Macworld events are held in Santa Rosa California:

and Intel are releasing a new mobile CPU codenamed Santa Rosa in 2007:

Perhaps the two names are not just coincidental.

Santa Rosa is not a CPU, it is a chipset. It is the next generation of the Centrino platform and will support the Merom processor.

The main ones are:
Higher FSB speed
Advanced dynamic FSB speed adaptation to increase battery life
Support for "Robson", Intel's flash memory optimisation to reduce boot times and reduce HDD access to improve battery life.
X3000 integrated graphics to replace the GMA950
More can be found

Excellent, dual display support too. I'm imagining a cheap workstation running Shake and CS3 on a quad-core Mini with dual screens.
