Can anyone point me to any information about the new Penryn chips vs the current Kentsfield?

I'm curious about what socket they will be and the prices they will run at. Every release I've read mentioned it being a server chip but never really got very specific.
 
It's likely that the Penryn chips will be 775 socket as some P35 chipsets (designed by Intel mind you) are marketed as 45 nm cpu ready. As far as prices? I've not seen anywhere that I've read. Here a few articles about the Penryn. Also the Penryn will be a dual core for laptops. The Wolfdale will be the desktop version of the Penryn and the Yorkfield will be the successor to the Kentsfield line of CPUs.

Here's a few articles about the Penryn.
