IDF tells us a lot
So what’s coming? Here’s what the Storage Bits crystal ball reveals:
* Quad cores.
* Switchable graphics.
* WiMax.

* No internal optical drives.
* Blu-ray support.
* 64 bit hardware -
* A glass trackpad the size of …

Despite comparable clock speeds (2.0 -> 2.0GHz, 2.16 -> 2.2GHz) to the old models, the new MacBooks use the Santa Rosa chipset which boasts a faster 800MHz front side bus over the previous MacBook models.
