The engineers couldn’t stop themselves when they got down to the actual computer, and carried on until the innards were layed bare. Of course, there is a gallery up for your voyeuristic pleasure.
Anandtech is the company which brought us the skinny on the MacBook Air’s custom Intel chipset , which turned out to be a sneak preview of the mobile Penryn chipset. The final Penryn chip is what you will find inside the MacBook Pros and the speed-bumped MacBook. In the picture above, you see the older, Merom chip on the left, and the new, 45nm Penryn on the right.
The motherboard on which they sit is almost unchanged from the Santa Rosa days, leading Anandtech to say that “this is still considered to be a Santa Rosa based notebook”.
