Here are some links to pass the time...
  1. Intel Presents New Processor Line-up

  2. Intel Core i5 540M

  3. Intel to detail next-gen MacBook Pro chip candidates at CES

  4. Intel unveils details on Arrandale, Clarkdale processors

  5. The unofficial "I'm Waiting for Arrandale" thread...

And here is a quote from one of the predictions/speculations [pertaining to Apple/MacBook Pros specifically] which i hope proves accurate...
Quote:
Fairly sound assumptions:
  • Announced between now and Jan 27

  • Shipping in Feb

  • Intel integrated graphics for 13" and low-end 15" (same performance as 9400M), Nvidia 330M discrete GPU for high-end 15" and 17" (about 10-20% increase over 9600M)

  • Arrandale is a good chip, 20-30% increase with same power and price (i.e., i5 2.53 performs like 3.06 Core2Duo with regard to processing power, but it costs less and uses less power)

cool
I'm looking to get a high-end 15" MBP (where i'll also get my first taste of Snow Leopard), so waiting another 2 or 3 weeks seems logical.

Santa! ... come back Santa.   (and i don't mean Santa Rosa).
