I only can see Apple using 32nm Quads due to power/performance ratio. I wouldn't expect 45nm Clarksfield on February 2010 update, but we may see it's successor on October 2010. But still Arrandale will be most likely option for both two future re…

wizard69 Let's think real. Apple probably won't use hot and expensive 45nm quads in notebooks because their low clocks and negative impact on battery life make them hard to advertise as a breakthrough. Not because of uselessness. However, Arrand…

It's pretty hard for me to tell whether it's a 17" or 15" uMBP at a glimpse. They're are very close in weight and size. Both are portable enough and still both are heavy compared to subnotebooks (or

Arrandale won't be an low-end CPU. Both Arrandale and Clarksfield will support Turbo Boost. Apple have to use IGP in all notebooks for better battery life option. Would they choose G 210M or Arrandale's iGP? What about triple graphics solut…

Clarksfield's TDP has yet to be confirmed. Since Apple will announce i7 generation on february 2010 they'll likely use high-end 32nm Arrandales for the whole MBP line. They'll add 32nm Quad cores (Clarksfield successor) on October 2010 with some ot…
