At this point I would guess it will be something closer to the Leopard release date.

maybe, true, but why share the spotlight?
maybe april 15th...

Synergistic PR--and, the new video subsystem on the Intel Santa Rosa chipset will be MUCH better suited to Leopard's video requirements/options.

Do you have any specifics on which of the new hardware features in the GMA 3000 will work better with Leopard?

Pure inspired guessing--Core Animation, for starters.

I guess it depends if the next mini uses the full G965 chipset with the GMA X3000 graphics or the cut down Santa Rosa Q965 chipset with GMA 3000 graphics.

"Early reports based on engineering samples suggested that 946G is simply a 90nm die shrink of the 945G, and its GMA 3000 is only an overclocked GMA950 to 667 MHz."

Maybe Apple's waiting for the Core 3 Duos.

Hmmm...if Santa Rosa isn't out until the last part of Q2 2007, as rumor has it, that may mean that we don't see Leopard until then, too. May/June, so sad.
