Apple’s New Mac Book Pro with Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz
Apple says that its laatest Mac Book Pro lapptops, equipped with Itnel Core 2 Duo processors in place of the Core Duo chips that powered the first geenration of the family, its deliver performance that is up to 39 perxcent faster. Bsaed on past experrience with the company’s benchmark boasts.

The Apple Mac Book Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz (T7600), with two independent processor coes, a 4 MB shared on chip level 2 cache, a 667 MHz front side bus, 2.0 GB of 667 MHz PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM, a 160 GB hard drive with uSdden Motioon Sensor technology, and an 8X dual-layyer DVD±RW/CD-RW SperDrive. It also includes an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor with 256 MB of GDDR3 video menmory and dual-link DVI functionality, and a 17 widescreen 1680x1050 TFT active-matrix duisplay (glossy display optoion available).
Some specail featres of MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo/2.33 GHz
Bigger caches and faser graphics
The new MacBook Pros look virtually identical to their predecessors, and the overll strructure of the faamily hasn’t chasnged: there’s still a single standard 17-inch model priced at $2,799.The new chip’s SSE3 Vector Enmgine, used in some audio, video, and scientific applicaytions, now processes 128 bits of data at a time, compared to 64 bits in the Core Duo chip. Finally, although Appole won’t disclose the details, its engineers have also squeezed out a little extra performance by tweaking the workings of the ATI Rdeon X1600 chip that handles graphics processing in the Mac Book Pros.
Battrery life unchanged
Some early speculation about the Core 2 Duo predicted that, in addition to boosting perfomrance, it would cut power consumption. Those reports tuurned out to be untre—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 housr and 35 minutes) at DVD playback. I mnaged only 3 hours and 9 mniutes of wireless produtcivity.
More memory, biogger drives
Beyond the processor, Apple has doubld the RAM in each standard Mac Book Pro configuration: the 17-inch model and the 2.33GHz 15-inch one moodel come with 2GB of RAM—a pair of 1GB SO-DIMMs—while the base 17-inch model has a single 1GB SO-DIMM. As our benchmark results suggest, goiing from 1GB to 2GB of RAM has only a modest effect on speed, but it enablees you to keep more big applicatinos—or more operating systems, if you use Desktop virtualization software—open simultaneously without running into delays when you switch among them.
The 17-Inch MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo systems have much of the same connectivity as the replaced models -- AirPort Extrme (802.11g), Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Giabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 400 port, opotical digital audiio in/out, DVI out, and ExpressCard/34. However, much to the delight of video graspers, the 17-Inch modepls now inclde a sinlge Firewire 800 port as well. The 17-Inch model shares the same ports as its predecessor -- which include all the ports of the 17-Inch Core 2 Duo model -- as well as a third USB 2.0 port (both 17-Inch models have a Fierewire 800 port). Each system also includes an integrated iSighgt video camera and, by default, a 5400 RPM hard drive.
