MacBook Pro 15 and 17 AMD Thunderbolt

For several hours after the official launch of the MacBook Pro 15 and 17, there’s new details on laptop computers in Cupertino. According to our colleagues at CNet, the name Thunderbolt, which appeared on the package the next MacBook Pro, should in fact be the new brand name and official Intel Light Peak. This name is still the code name for the high-speed technology, initially composed of optical fiber, will be implemented with a copper cable.

The connector is very similar to DisplayPort and less to the USB port, as desired by the USB Implementers Forum, which has fought so long it was used as a standard USB connector for general use, or to support other technologies as standard a connector combo. Another detail revealed through CNet is given by the technical characteristics of the new MacBook Pro models from 15 and 17 inches may leave to migrate to Nvidia graphics cards AMD.

Logically, the graphics card should always offer the possibility of being disabled for the switch to integrated graphics processors and thereby reduce energy consumption. We’ll have more information about MacBook Pro 15 and 17 in the next few days / hours, while Intel will hold a press conference today (19.00 Italian time) is likely to render official Intel Light peak. According to our colleagues, at the end of the evening Apple could introduce the new business notebook. The answer will only after 14:00, the time when traditionally Apple Store closes for upgrades.
