Comments:
Apple's current upgrade cycle sees new computers appearing two-to-three months after the release of new Intel chips, so it's no surprise to see the MacBook Pro gaining a dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
Review Verdict: There was also a huge boost in performance for older applications still running in Mac OS X's Rosetta emulation mode - which may be due to enhancements in the 10.4.8 operating system as much as the new chips. Photoshop ran almost twice as fast on the Core
