Apple Unveils MacBook Pro with Core 2 Duo

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wonderful-toys dept.

daveschroeder writes "Apple has just announced the upgraded MacBook Pro (15.4- and 17-inch models) with the Intel Core 2 Duo ("Merom") 64-bit dual core processor. The standard hard drive sizes have been increased, a FireWire 800 port has been added to all models (again, reaffirming that FireWire, and specifically FireWire 800, is not dead, and that Apple responded to customer requests to add it to the 15.4-inch model), and the optical drive is now dual-layer-write-capable on all models."

    According to Intel, only the merom at 2.0ghz comes with 4MB L2 cache, the conroe is 2.66GHz for the first one with 4MB.


    Actually, the E6600 Conroe at 2.4GHz has 4MB of cache.

    If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
