Anyone know how much Apple pays for the 7447As in the books?
$210 for the cheapest single core Yonah...thats about standard for what Intel charges for its latest processors. And keep in mind thats in quantities of 1000, so Apple gets a heavily discounted rate. With everyone else coming out with Yonah notebooks around $1000, I don't see why Apple can't. Also, OSx86 needs SSE3 (unless they implement a SSE3->SSE2 emulator such as in the hacked version, but I doubt that because they're really pushing SSE3), something the current PentiumMs (Dothan) does not supply.
