Unannounced Core i7 Apple MacBook Pro surfaces in benchmarks logs
A benchmark report for an unreleased Apple MacBook Pro sporting Intel’s upcoming dual-core 2.66GHz Core i7 mobile processor was published online this week, suggesting a refresh to the professional notebook line may be imminent.
The Geekbench report, which can be seen in its entirety here, was submitted on February 4th and subsequently spotted by a MacRumors forum member. It lists the model as a MacBook Pro 6,1 — a previously unused MacBook Pro identifier — running an unreleased build of Mac OS X 10.6.2 labeled 10C3067.
More specifically, the chip that registered inside the unreleased MacBook Pro is the Core i7 M 620, which represents the highest-performance chip announced as part of Intel’s new Arrandale mobile offerings last month.
