>Just as we speculated they will be getting the new Intel Sandy Bridge Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, AMD 6000M graphics (no NVIDIA), and the superfast Thunderbolt port!!!!
There is a HD facetime camera, Gigabit Ethernet port, Firewire 800 port, Two usb ports, thunderbolt port which supports up to 10 Gps!!!, Audio line in and out, and of course the SDXC card slot.
MORE ABOUT THE THUNDERBOLT PORT
This port allows you to access streams of uncompressed HD video from the macbook at speeds whichwill allow you to edit them in real time. It is able to connect the next high-performance peripherals to the next generation of computers, starting with the macbook pro. The Thunderbolt port is TWELVE, yes twelve times faster than a firewire port & TWENTY times faster than USB 2.0. The thunderbolt port will enable a user to daisy chain up to SIX devices including monitors or televisions. This port is like a human compared to an ape (USB)!
THE PROCESSOR
The 13-inch MacBook Pro now features a 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 processor OR the 2.7GHz Intel Core i7These processors Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.4GHz, allowing the 13-inch MacBook Pro to perform up to twice as fast as the previous generation. But Apple “couldn’t leave fast alone”. As the new 15 & 17inch models are able to have a 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor — with Turbo Boost speeds up to3.4GHz and up to 8MB of shared L3 cache. These MacBooks are now able to tackle the most power hungry jobs around!
The whole macbook pro line up has the intergrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor, which can encode video quickly and efficiently, therefore maximising playback. But for graphical intensive applications the 15 & 17 inch Macbook Pro models switch to AMD Radeon graphics processors, which let you see more fps in 3D games or on HD video projects!To conclude, the new macbook pro excels in all areas over the previous model. If you have been holding off to buy a new mac, this is the right time to buy.
