Apple almost up to speed with Intel Penryn launch

Only a day after Intel announced new Penryn versions of its Core architecture, Apple has announced an updated Mac Pro.

Intel usually announces new lines with the support of a raft of PC manufacturers, and sometimes a few will sneak out new machines ahead of time. You can understand why Apple wouldn't want to be included in the me-too PC rush, but if it was going to wait a day, why not wait a week for Macworld Expo?

Penryn, by the way, is "an unincorporated community in Placer County, California, in the United States. Geographic location is 38.852° N 121.169° W," as an Intel blogger noted in April last year. (As I blogged at the time, Intel outlined the chips in March.)
