You reckon Montevina will be put in mbps by the summer?
I don't understand... It's summer now! (Although considering all this bloody rain...)
They are coming out next month or max april, but knowing apple becoming MS they prob gona put it like in Oct.!
Source for Montevina being available next month or April??? I saw May...
My guess is the Montevina MBPs will be available in July. I seem to remember that Santa Rosa was also released in May, but the SR MBPs only made available in like July. Same thing will probably happen. Then the first Nehalem MBPs January or February 2009. (EDIT: OK, "Buyer's Guide" says it was June. So around Late May-June-Early July for Montevina MBPs.)
Quad on a mbp! would ROCK! but not gona happen cause of the 1" blah blah heat blah blah
AAAH!!! BLASPHEMY!!!
NEVER SAY NEVER! Especially on something like this!
I reckon June 2009 will see the first quad core MBPs, but they could be available sooner than this. Although very unlikely, it is always possible that we will see at least some of the MBP lineup move to quad cores maybe as soon as this June! Although I would say we'll see quad core iMacs first. I'll guess 6 months before quad core MBPs.
So, although Quad Core MBPs this June is (possible) but incredibly unlikely, it is entirely possible we will have them for early next year, and I reckon an almost certainty by June next year.
And hopefully 8 core by 2010, and 16 core "Sandy Bridge" by start of 2011, when I will probably be wanting a replacement for my MBP!
So, all in all, 8800M GT happening in MBP? NOT GOONA HAPPEN. In this case, I think it is quite reasonable for me to say EVER.
Don't know anything about the 9600M. Maybe, but unlikely. Especially if it draws anything like the amount of power as the 8800M does.
I reckon the next MBP GPU will be the next generation, either R700 or G100 based, in June.
