Do newer MBPs have better wireless network cards/antennas? I am not able to find this anywhere, and Apple does not advertise beyond that their notebooks are capable of the various specifications.

Right now, my 2009 MBP is having trouble staying connected to the wireless router while a 2012 MBP stays connected literally two feet away. Admittedly we have a serious Wifi jungle here with at least 13 networks available. This is just very frustrating.
 
Yes, newer Macs haver newer chipsets. For example now these Macs support 3x3 antennae where the old were 2x3 or 2x2.
