Hey guys,

does anybody have a comparison between these two? I'm considering buying a Macbook Pro but I'm thinking about waiting for a Merom based one if it'll offer a substancial performance advantage (it'll be running aperture so it'll need all it can get)
 
Having looked, merom has a higher TDP than yonah for an equivilent speed

either way, I'm waiting till august 7th (WWDC keynote), then either way I'm buying a 17" macbook

It has a higher TDP but it also has much lower power consumption at idle and small work loads. Believe it or not, Merom can actually power down some of its execution units to save power. Intel claims that a Merom laptop will be able to do 5 hours runtime.

my sony core duo does 5 hours run time...but i suppose it'd be nice on the macbook too
