Further evidence Apple's code of secrecy isn't meshing with Intel found at Computerworld today.

Writer Sumner Lemon attempts to write a story about the way Apple is influencing Intel's design and development cycle. Intel's obviously into the story idea, but, because it's about Apple, they can't say anything.

Apple's view of how the computer market will evolve has influenced Intel's product roadmap, (Senior vice-president and general manager of Intel's sales and marketing group Anand) Chandrasekher said. That impact will be felt over the long term, rather than showing up soon, he said.

Chandrasekher declined to give specific examples of how Apple had influenced the roadmap.

Between this and Intel actually announcing its product road-map and allowing journalists to play with new chips early, Apple must be going nuts. Watch for Intel to officially announce their Conroe, Merom and Woodcrest chips later today, though. I'll be checking in.
