Apple Updates MacBooks With Intel Technology - WSJ.com: Apple Inc. unveiled its new line of MacBook Pro notebooks with next-generation Intel Corp. processors and the chip giant's high-speed data-transfer technology.
The updated notebook line follows Apple's pattern of releasing new products annually. Intel's superfast PC connection technology allows users to transfer files at 10 gigabits per second. At that speed, Intel says a user could transfer a typical Blu-ray movie in less than 30 seconds.
Apple also said its new MacBook Pro line is up to twice as fast as the previous generation, using the latest Intel Core processors that combine graphics and computing on the same piece of silicon. The company pointed out on its website that all models use Intel's "recently refined chipsets."
