While not entirely unexpected, Apple has today announced a new generation of their consumer-level MacBook computers running on Intel Core 2 Duo processors. While the same clockspeeds as before (1.83 or 2.0GHz), Apple claims this latest revision of Intel processors result in a 25% performance improvement.

Most everything else appears to be the same about these notebooks. They still sport the Intel 950 graphics chipset and a glossy 13.3" screen. The 1.83GHz model has 2MB of shared L2 cache, while the 2.0GHz models feature 4MB, and all share a 667MHz front-side bus speed.

The MacBooks still sit at the $1,100, $1,300, and $1,500 price points. For much more on these new MacBooks, be sure to head over to Apple's site.

store is still down but from what i can see there really is no difference except for the new CPU and that the 2.0GHz now ships with 1GB RAM standard. but ships with 2x512 so that could be tricky to upgrade
