THE MOST TRUE AND HOLY Apple religion has decided that Intel's Montevina shall be excommunicated from the next version of the MacBook.
According to Apple Insider, Cappuccino could be using a chipset from a different company or even an internally developed one in the next iteration of the MacBook, which should appear in the next six or eight weeks
Apple Messiah, Steve Jobs, who has been taking time off from performing his incredible shrinking miracle, has decided that while Intel's mobile Centrino chipsets have been pleasing in his sight, the Montevina version has fallen from grace.
Apple sauces say he things that Chipzilla's attempts at integrated graphics chipsets on Montevina are not as good as they should be.
The question is, what would Jobs' Mob be considering worthy to stick under the bonnet of its latest box of joy.
Apple Insider thinks the fruit-themed toymaker might have hatched a deal with AMD or Via for the new chipsets. µ

Hmm...interesting news...

if they made a deal with AMD that's a hit to intel

I'd be picking up the next refresh of the MBP if it uses an AMD CPU and ATI GPU in a heart beat. Well, not a heart beat as my Santa Rosa MBP is doing just fine. But I'd know where to look first for my next notebook. -
