Now I've been hankering for a Mac for some time now, ever since I got a copy of Max OS X 10.2 to install on an aging Clamshell iBook G3 366. Apple was first on the scene to adopt Intel's new Core Duo processors, and it seems that they've upped the (processor) ante.
The 15" Macbook Pro's have been updated, the 1.83 Ghz Core duo processor for the entry level model (up from 1.66 Ghz) and 2.0Ghz (upgradeable to 2.13 Ghz)for the more expensive one!
Check it out at the Apple online store
On a personal note, I'm waiting for the refresh on the iBook range. I ain't got THAT much money to spare!
AMD has been making strides in the processor wars of late. 1st in the scene with the 1Ghz processor, then the 64 bit enabled processors and winning market share over Intel. Will Intel hold its ground ? will it overcome ? Firingsquad.com has a write up on Intel called: " Intel core new low ".
Last but not least, a laptop/notebook review by cooltechzone, on the Asus W5F sporting a core duo t2500 processor and 1GB of DDR2-667 Ram !
