Intel has released their new 45nm Penryn chips. Yet, as of this morning there are no manufaturers listed as takers of the new chip. Obviously if you are reading this here you aren’t expecting HP or Lenovo announcements. So, ahem… Apple, what are you waiting for?
If you are into that sort of thing, we have some CPU porn after the break:
