The new 15" base model rumoured to be 2.4GHz

The current 15" base is 2.53Ghz.

Question: Which is better and why?
 
that will be great....quad cpu on 13 MBP....

There are many different models of the i3, i5 and i7 CPUs. Google for "Intel Price List" to find all the different models. The mobile quad core i7 runs only at 1.6 or 1.73 GHz. Not sure whether I would be too keen on that.

The 520, 540 and 620 are all dual core + hyperthreading. And the only difference seems to be the clock speed, and a slight difference in cache size. Otherwise there is no difference between the mobile i5 and mobile i7.
 
SD means SD-RAM, they will be using it instead of DDR in these models. I know this because I saw Steve Jobs in McDonalds and he told me :p

On a serious note.. looking forward to the updates, and I'm not even buying a new one :D
 
Waiting for sooo long

I woke up to this. Feel a like crying a little bit. I've been waiting since November. This will be so, so sweet.
:D
 
LOL @ all the other people who just bought MBP's! Although I've a feeling you're getting nothing here. It's all for nothing. Move it along people.... :rolleyes:
