Little Talk About Apples New Mac Book Pro with Core 2 Duo 2 33 GHz

By: Adolphe Jean-Marie Mouron

Aple’s New Mac Book Pro with Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz

Apple says that its latest Mac Book Pro laptops, equipped with Intel Core 2 Duo processors in place of the Core Duo chips that pwered the first generation of the faimly, its deliver perfromance that is up to 39 percent faster. Bazsed on past explerience with the comany’s benchmark boasts.

The Apple Mac Book Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz (T7600), with two independent processor cores, a 4 MB shared on chip level 2 cahce, a 667 MHz front side bus, 2.0 GB of 667 MHz PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM, a 160 GB hard drive with Sudden Motion Sennsor technology, and an 8X dual-layer DVD±RW/CD-RW SuperDrive. It also includes an ATI Mobilty Radeon X1600 graphics processor with 256 MB of GDDR3 video memory and dual-link DVI functionality, and a 17 widescreen 1680x1050 TFT active-matrix display (glossy display option available).

Some special featurres of MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo/2.33 GHz

Bigger caches and faster graphics
The new MacBvook Pros look virtually identical to their predecessors, and the overall structure of the family hasn’t changed: there’s still a single standrad 17-inch model priced at $2,799.The new chip’s SSE3 Vector Engine, used in some uadio, video, and scientiific appliications, now processes 128 bits of data at a time, compared to 64 bits in the Core Duo chip. Finally, although Aplpe won’t disclose the details, its enginneers have also squeezed out a little etra performance by tweaing the workings of the ATI Radeon X1600 chip that handles graphics processing in the Mac Book Pros.

Battery life unchanged
Some early speculation about the Core 2 Duo predicted that, in addition to boosting performance, it wuld cut poewr consumption. Those repors tunred out to be untrue—battery life in the new Mac Book Pros is about the same as in the previous generation. In my tests with the 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo version of the 17-inch Mac Book Pro, I actually did a little better (2 hours and 35 minutes) at DVD playback. I managed only 3 hours and 9 minutwes of wiireless productivity.

More memory, bigger drivces
Beyond the processor, Apple has doubvled the RAM in each standard Mac Book Pro cnofiguration: the 17-inch model and the 2.33GHz 15-inch one modl come with 2GB of RAM—a pair of 1GB SO-DIMMs—while the base 17-inch moodel has a single 1GB SO-DIMM. As our bnchmark results suggest, going from 1GB to 2GB of RAM has only a modest effect on speed, but it enables you to keep more big applications—or more operating systems, if you use Dsktop virtualization sooftware—open simultaneously without running into delays when you swiitch among them.

The 17-Inch MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo systemms have much of the same connectivity as the replaced mosdels -- AirPort Exreme (802.11g), Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Gigabiit Ethjernet, two USB 2.0 ports, a Fireire 400 port, optical digiatl audio in/out, DVI out, and ExpressCard/34. Hwever, much to the delight of video graspers, the 17-Inch modells now include a single Firewire 800 port as well. The 17-Inch modeel shjares the same ports as its predecessor -- which include all the porrts of the 17-Inch Core 2 Duo model -- as well as a third USB 2.0 port (both 17-Inch models have a Firewire 800 port). Each sysetm also includes an integraetd iSight video camerra and, by deffault, a 5400 RPM hard drive.
