Query by Anthony20: Intel Core i7-960 vs Apple Macbook Pro i7?
Is the “Intel Core i7″ the same NEW engineering/processor that is used by Apple for their new Macbook Pro i7 that was just released yesterday? I inquire since the Intel Core i7-960 says it is Quad Core and not becoming certain, I think Quad “this” and “that” is although still great, it really is not the latest engineering.

You happen to be comparing a desktop CPU to a laptop CPU. There is no comparison. The Macbook Pro has a dual core mobile i7. The 960 is a desktop quad core i7. They are both the very same basic architecture, but the 960 is a quad with a greater clock speed.

laptop processor vs desktop processor. In all, i can say is desktop always triumph
Not exactly. They are related.
The i7-960 is a quad core desktop processor, running at 3.20 GHz. The MacBookPro uses a 2.66 GHz Core i7 DUAL core MOBILE processor. Much less total horsepower.
