Mace tein has blogged a Mac mini CPU swap, as a poster in a Taiwanese forum has switched out the Core Duo chip for a Core 2 Duo chip, a next-generation CPU from Intel. The brain upgrade has resulted not only in the Mac mini stomping a PowerMac G5 dual 2.5 GHz in an iTunes MP3-AAC conversion test (remember: Mac minis have slower laptop hard drives than desktop PowerMacs), but it also ru cooler, due to the new architecture of these Core 2 Duo (code name: Merom) Intel chi .
Given reports like this of these new chi , we might as well talk about the elephant in the room: if these reports of cooler ru ing and even more powerful chi so soon from Intel are true, I foresee a lot of criticism of A le jumping the gun on cramming Intel chi into their present lineup, in light of all these complaints about heat.
