Good news from MacWorld San Francisco today! Apple began it's transition to Intel chips with the release of a new iMac model and a new laptop called the "MacBook Pro". I'm rather envious of the MacBook Pro: it features a dual-core Intel processor at 1.67 or 1.83 GHz, digital/optical audio in and out, a 256 MB graphics card on the high-end model with dual-link built in, 15.4-inch LCD, remote control for controlling music and DVD playback, a magnetic power adapter (so tripping over a power cable will detach the cable, rather than yanking the computer), a built-in digital video camera (for videoconferencing), and a bunch of other sweet stuff. It's about 4x as fast as the PowerBook G4. And it's about an inch thick and weighs only 5.6 pounds!
The iMac line got a bunch of improvements, too. The new iMac features the Intel Core Duo chip like the MacBook Pro. I'm not positive what the other features are, since I'm not as interested in the iMac, but it is reputed to be much faster than the previous iMacs. |

QUOTE(kryogenix @ Jan 11 2006, 6:40 PM) An interesting article, but it doesn't apply to this case; the benchmarks cited are in comparison to the old iMac and PowerBook, not to any non-Apple PC's. Also, the article is several years old, which also diminishes its relevance in this case. |

A few years ago, they were trying to get the benchmarking software to run slower on intel processors. Now they're probably trying to optimize it for Intel processors! |
