Intel Launching 'Merom' Notebook Processor

Posted by ryuzaki0 on

Hans Pecheston writes "Merom, Intel's notebook processor, will be joining in the festivities at their upcoming launch event. This chip will continue to use the Core 2 Duo brand and should display additional improvements in performance and power consumption over the current chips. Intel has already begun to ship Merom processors to its PC customers and systems with Merom should begin to appear around the end of August."

    Way to post an article that is over a year old. The is just silly. The article lists the old order of product releases; the new order is actually reversed. Move along, nothing to see here. Google news will do much better.

    "the MB and MBP and comparably eqipped PC laptops aren't really so far off."

    It is hilarious how all through the late 1990s and early 2000s x86 people would rush off to the Apple Store and config 5000 dollar Macs to prove how 'expensive' they were compared to x86 PCs.

    And now those very same people who are buying x86 Intel Macs are doing the very same but in reverse by heading over to the Dell store and configing the most expensive model they can find to prove x86 Macs aren't really that overpriced.

    If you are paying more than 50 percent the price of an x86 Mac for a HP or Dell - you are getting reamed.
