I’ve got plenty of questions about this report (like, who the hell is Apple Daily?), but a lot of the pieces fit: rumour has it that Core i5 and i7 MacBooks are coming this month. This would be great news, for people who want MacBooks!
On paper, the Core i9 might not sound that exciting: It’s a lot like the Core i7, except built with a 32nm fabrication process and two extra cores, for a total of six. Early benchmarks, though, say it flies. Sometimes.
Wisely, Intel has decided to simplify their overly complex brand structure by boiling things down into three main categories: “entry-level (Intel Core i3), mid-level (Intel Core i5), and high-level (Intel Core i7).”
