I am wondering when you guys think the next upgrade will come for the MBP for processors etc..

What processor is in the iMac and is it compatible with the MBPs portability?
Mac Pro Dual Quad 3.2ghz, 4gb ram, 2x 1 Terabyte hdd's, 8800GT, 30inch Samsung display
15 inch Macbook Pro, 2.4ghz, 4gb ram, 160gb HDD, 8600GT 256mb
1.83ghz Core 2 Duo Mac Mini Media Server 2GBs ram and a 1 terabyte external drive.

The iMac is just running factory overclocked Penryns with nonstandard TDPs... they're way too hot for the MBP (55W @ 3.06Ghz IIRC).

The processors and chipsets for a faster MBP will be released in June, so Apple will probably implement them in August or so.
Mac update estimates: MacBook Pro 2Q09 or 3Q09; MacBook 2Q09 or 3Q09; MacBook Air 2Q09 or 3Q09; Mac Pro/Xserve 1Q09 (2.93-3.33+Ghz Nehalem, 48+GB RAM); iMac 1Q09 (Cantiga, 2.53-3.06Ghz Penryn [quad possible], 8GB RAM); Mac mini 4Q08 (2.1-2.4Ghz Penryn, 4GB RAM).
