Intel knew the perf long ago and they most likely had estimates before there was silicon.Also they won't play with prices,they'll release higher clocked SKU's and lower the price accordingly for the existing ones (obvioulsy if needed) but that will happen with or without leaks.Look at Llano we already have rumours about more desktop Intel dual cores with HD3000 and more 17W notebook parts,as Intel prepares to respod to Llano.
