Intel Core 2 Duo launched

Good news for us. Bad news for AMD.

It only seems like yesterday that the existing Intel Core chips were launched but now PC and Mac users alike will soon be enjoying the advantages of Core 2 in their computers.

Essentially the new chips offer greater performance for the same power usage as their predecessors and from the looks of early benchmarks trounce anything from AMD.

Exciting times, particularly for Mac users who aren't used to new chips coming along every few months! How long before we see updates to the Macbook Pro with these chips...? Mmmmm.
