The refresh is based on Intel's earlier Santa Rosa platform but skews performance higher than often expected in the class, with a 1.73GHz Celeron dual-core available as an option and unusual 1.4GHz and 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo chips sitting at the top end. A 1.73GHz single-core Celeron is still an optio... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/04/hp.550.notebook/ Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/27/macbook.pro.video.glitches/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/macbookpro-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Owners of Santa Rosa-based MacBook Pros are suffering from video failures, reports claim. Victims say that the problem arises after waking or rebooting a Pro, at which point the computer may suddenly stop displaying video, whether on its native LCD or an attached monitor. Debugging is said to have revealed that the issue is with misidentified graphics chipsets -- rather than acknowledging their ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/27/macbook.pro.video.glitches/ Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/28/imac.cpu.origins/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/intel45nmdie-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The 3.06GHz processor and fellow chips in Apple's new iMacs are part of a special run of Intel's existing technology rather than an early introduction of Centrino 2 technology, Intel has confirmed with Electronista. Although the processors match the same core clock rates and 1,066MHz system bus speeds as those for the upcoming platform, the processors are now known to be unlisted speed grades tha... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/28/imac.cpu.origins/ Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/18/deals.on.2g.nano.mbp/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/macbookpro-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple has second-generation iPod Nanos and several versions of the Santa Rosa-powered MacBook Pros on clearance in the online store. The silver 2GB iPod nano can store upwards of 500 songs, and is capable of displaying pictures, but not video content, as is the case with the third generation Nano. The iPod nanos come with Apple earphones and a USB dock cable, and are currently available from the o... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/18/deals.on.2g.nano.mbp/ Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/25/intel.phasing.out.old.core/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/intelcore2duo.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel is planning to ramp down production of its now-old Core 2 processors quickly to make room for Centrino 2, notebook manufacturers say. Rather than gradually shut down production of the old chips, the semiconductor firm intends to make the new, faster platform the dominant platform virtually on launch. While its current platform (nicknamed Santa Rosa) is expected to make up about 60 percent ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/25/intel.phasing.out.old.core/ Mon, 25 Feb 2008 20:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/22/sff.intel.cpu.launch.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/intel45nmdie-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Details have surfaced about the final specs and pricing of Intel's first small form factor Montevina platform processors for notebooks that point to the first likely upgrade for the MacBook Air as well as for future ultraportables, say notebook builders. The slip confirms earlier claims and points to two low voltage processors that are now known to be the most likely candidates for the upgrade. ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/22/sff.intel.cpu.launch.leak/ Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:55:00 GMT
