Dell puts Penryn in before Apple |

Wednesday, 20 February 2008 |
 Dell has beaten Apple at rolling out Intel's new Penryn processors into laptops. For several months now, Industry analysts have been expecting Apple to update the MacBook Pro line. The current model, which has been getting a little long in the tooth, hasn't been updated since mid 2007 but Apple so far hasn't provided any real guidance on a release date. Dell, who also happens to be late to the Penryn party, beat Apple to market with the new processors. Dell's Inspiron 1420 and 1720 now offer the Intel Penryn processor as part of their standard build.
The Penryn processor is the latest mobile processor from Intel. It offers a cooler and faster chip on a 45nm architecture. The chips can be recognized by being inside the Intel Core 2 T5000 or the T7000 family.
