Rumor: Apple To Launch Intel/Flash Based Notebook Next Week
January 5, 2006 | In: Breaking News, Laptops Notebooks
Rumors are circulating that Apple will launch a series of Intel powered notebook computers sometime this month. The new machines will supposedly use the newly tested NAND flash based cache memory technology.
From Macworld.co.uk:
In effect, this promises systems that are faster than before, due to the way flash memory is always available to systems. It’s why Apple’s flash-based iPods start-up so fast and navigate quickly between tracks. It also offers significant savings in terms of battery life.
From Digitimes.com:
Although Intel only demonstrated its Robson cache technology in the fourth quarter of last year, sources now claim that Apple Computer will launch a notebook computer in the middle of this month that utilizes the NAND flash based cache memory technology. The sources did not say which line of Apple notebooks would implement the technology, and Apple Taiwan was not available for comment at the time of publication.
