Most other details aren't provided in the AppleInsider tip, but any release before early 2010 would require that Apple use some or all of the quad-core "Clarksfield" designs on the market and produce the first non-workstation quad-core Macs.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/15/rumor.has.imac.using.quad.core.nehalem/ Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/23/intel.core.i7.mobile.now.official/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/intelseanmaloney.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel at its second Developer Forum keynote officially unveiled its first Core i7 processors for notebooks. Once codenamed Clarksfield, the quad-core processors share the same Nehalem architecture and 45 nanometer process as the desktop part but are designed to consume much less power, although more at peak than the Core 2 Quad. The top-end Core i7 Extreme consumes 55W where regular quad Core i7... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/23/intel.core.i7.mobile.now.official/ Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/18/quad.core.i7.much.faster.in.benchmarks/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/dellprecisionm6400covet.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel's upcoming Core i7 four-core parts for notebooks, nicknamed Clarksfield, should be much faster per clock cycle compared to their existing Core 2 Quad counterparts based on tests published today. Although normally clocked at just 1.73GHz, the mid-range Core i7-820QM is seen in PCPro benchmarks often coming close to, matching or outperforming the 2.53GHz Core 2 Extreme that costs significantl... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/18/quad.core.i7.much.faster.in.benchmarks/ Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/new.hp.envies.bring.core.i7.more/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/hpenvy13.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP this morning revived its sleeping Envy label for two new systems targeted at the same slim but high-speed designs as the MacBook Pro. The Envy 13 and 15 are both housed in aluminum-and-black shells and drop the usual optical drive to shed weight and thickness: the 13-inch model is relatively light at just over 3.7 pounds and is 0.8 inches thick, while even the larger 15-inch system is slightly... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/new.hp.envies.bring.core.i7.more/ Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/08/intel.lynnfield.official/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/gallery/sep2009/intelcorei5.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel today brought its most recent chip architecture into the mainstream with the official start to Lynnfield, its lower-cost but also more advanced desktop platform. The design is headlined by updated Core i7 and new Core i5 processors that build not only the memory controller but also a 16X PCI Express interface directly into the processor die, leaving just a single chip on the mainboard to co... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/08/intel.lynnfield.official/ Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/07/hp.culv.and.core.i7.notebooks.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/gallery/sep2009/compaqmini311.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP's impending plans to revamp its notebook line have likely been uncovered in advance today courtesy of a pair of leaks (one, two). Leading the group should be the Pavilion dv8, one of the first systems to use Intel's mobile Core i7; it should be an 18.4-inch desktop replacement with an early 1.6GHz quad-core processor that scales up to 2.8GHz when it can ramp down one or more cores. It's also ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/07/hp.culv.and.core.i7.notebooks.leak/ Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/31/intel.core.i5.desk.sept.8/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0908/intel-q3-results.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel's desktop Core i5 and i7 processors and its matching P55 platform are slated to appear in exactly a week, mainboard producers claimed today. A launch is expected on September 8th that should involve three processors already rumored for next month; these would include the 2.93GHz Core i7 870, 2.8GHz Core i7 860 and 2.66GHz Core i5 750. All of these are quad-core, but only the Core i7 models... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/31/intel.core.i5.desk.sept.8/ Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/07/imac.2009.feature.teaser/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/imac-aluminum2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The next revision of Apple's iMac should bring at least a pair of much sought-after features, a teaser rumor puts forward. A veteran source for AppleInsider claims that at least two often-requested features should make it into the next revision. One vague claim says the all-in-one will address a 'wish-list' feature, but another is purported to address the semi-pro audio and visual editing segmen... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/07/imac.2009.feature.teaser/ Fri, 07 Aug 2009 18:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/13/intel.clarksfield.by.oct/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/intelnehalem.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel's first mobile Nehalem processors, known under their Clarksfield codename, have had their launch date pushed to near the start of fall if a rumor proves true. Originally scheduled for the summer, the quad-core chips are now penned in for late September or early October. No reason has been given for the delay by the sources for DigiTimes, although the processors are known to consume large a... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/13/intel.clarksfield.by.oct/ Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/06/intel.clarksfield.45w/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/intelnehalem.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel's Core i7 notebook chips may all consume too much power to be used in anything but high-end notebooks, a late leak indicates. Also known as Clarksfield, the 1.6GHz and 1.73GHz quad-core parts were originally thought to use 35W of peak power, suitable for average and some thin-and-light notebooks, but are now estimated to use 45W and would be ruled out for all but larger, desktop replacement... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/06/intel.clarksfield.45w/ Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:10:00 GMT
