The most true and holy Apple religion has decided that Intel's Montevina shall be excommunicated from the next version of the MacBook.

According to Apple Insider, Cappuccino could be using a chipset from a different company - or even an internally developed one - in the next iteration of the MacBook, which should appear in the next six or eight weeks.

Apple Messiah, Steve Jobs, who has been taking time off from performing his incredible shrinking miracle, has decided that while Intel's mobile Centrino chipsets have been pleasing in his sight, the Montevina version has fallen from grace.

Apple sauces say he things that Chipzilla's attempts at integrated graphics chipsets on Montevina are not as good as they should be.

The question is, what would Jobs' Mob be considering worthy to stick under the bonnet of its latest box of joy.

Apple Insider thinks the fruit-themed toymaker might have hatched a deal with AMD or Via for the new chipsets.

voice recognition anyone?

No, just INQUIRER.

Apple sauce... get it? And I'm guessing that "things" is a typo. The Inq doesn't care. They just post the news ahead of everyone else. And it's often right.

"Apple Insider thinks the fruit-themed toymaker might have hatched a deal with AMD or Via for the new chipsets."

Yay, Via!!
Would like to see them get their stuff together, if for nothing more than slight pressure on AMD and Intel.

AMD has been trying to get a deal with Apple, so it's very likely to be them. I'd like to see this come with an AMD processor and Radeon HD 4xxx graphics. Dare I say, it would even be tempting to me.

I don't like computer manufacturers that are Intel-exclusive, and Apple found themselves in that position when they went x86.

Hmm... I looked over the article again, and the word "chipset" caught my attention this time. I seemed to overlook that the first time and thought they were talking about the CPU.

If the chipset is all they're talking about, then this isn't even news. It will either be from a company like VIA, or an Apple-made chipset.
