First Intel iBooks to sport 2.16Ghz Yonah processors
November 24th, 2005 in Apple, Events, Hardware |
Lowendmac reports that the soon-to-be-released (rumored) new Intel iBooks are going to sport a 2.16Ghz Intel Yonah processor (which is the successor to the current Pentium M line).
If you’ve played with Mac OS X 86 so far, then this should give you a warm and fuzzy feeling. I tried Mac OS X on my Pentium 4 2.0Ghz here at work, and it ran quite fast (way faster than my 1.33Ghz PB 12″ which stands next to it), although my video adaptor ran without any hardware-acceleration (vesa).
So I imagine a fully accelerated and even more optimized Mac OS X on a 2.16Ghz Pentium to outperform my simple setup by far. Can’t wait.
The end of blurry pictures?

Wired news reports about a new camera developed by a student at Stanford University which makes it possible to adjust the camera focus afterwards on the computer
A prototype camera made by a Stanford University graduate student could herald the end of fuzzy, poorly lit photos.
A computer science Ph.D. student at Stanford University has outfitted a 16-megapixel camera with a bevy of micro lenses that allows users to take photos and later refocus them on a computer using software he wrote.
