But in recent weeks, Intel has rolled-out far more capable chips in its 64-bit line of Core 2 Duo processors, including a mobile variant known by its code-named Merom.<\/p>\n<p>The news has lead to widespread speculation over precisely when and where the new mobile chips will take their seat in Apple&#8217;s product lines.<\/p>\n<p>According to a source familiar with the Mac maker&#8217;s plans, the company is slated to receive mass shipments of the new Merom Core 2 Duo processors by the first week of September and plans to be amongst the first PC manufacturers to introduce systems based on the new chips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AppleInsider is reporting that Apple is going to move quickly to Merom-based systems.
