bofors Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Apple's MacBook to get an early Merom upgrade? By Tony Smith 11th August 2006 09:07 GMT Get The Register's new weekly newsletter for senior IT managers delivered to your in-box, click here. Apple will not only ship Core 2 Duo-based MacBook Pro notebooks next month, but also versions of its consumer-oriented MacBook fitted with Intel's latest mobile processor - and its first 64-bit laptop chip - Asian reports have claimed. According to a story in the Chinese-language newspaper the Commercial Times, Taiwanese contract manufacturer Asustek - best known, perhaps, for its Asus-brand products - will punch out MacBooks based on the new CPU, codenamed 'Merom'. Apple's MacBook Pros are said to be manufactured by Quanta. Together, the two producers will punch out 200,000-300,000 laptop Macs, the paper claims. That the higher-end machines are to get a Core 2 Duo upgrade late this month or early next was signalled last week, but today's report is the first indication the mainstream models will get Merom too. http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/08/11/ap...k_to_get_merom/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
