Computing

The latest rumoury bits on new iMacs supposedly coming soonish: Blu-ray’s out (still), and they’ll be using Intel’s Core i7 Clarksfield chips (conveniently explained this morning), which would make them Apple’s first quad-core consumer computer.

Clarksfield’s somewhat of a given, since iMacs use laptop guts. If we are going to see these new iMacs this year, they’ve gotta be announced in the next couple weeks to hit the holiday buying period. Smack in the middle of the Windows 7 launch would be mean (and effective). [AppleInisider]
