Word on the street is that Intel is gearing up for a significant update to its ultra-low voltage mobile chips, with a 1.46GHz Core i7 (68UM) lined up to be released in the fall. The ship is said to have the same 18W thermal peak potential, but could reach up to 2.53GHz when running in Turbo Boost mode. As with other Core i7 processors, that chip will additionally offer Hyperthreading, performing like a four-core chip with optimized programs. Pricing wasn’t mentioned, but hopefully it won’t break the bank.

Word has it that an update to the MacBook Air may see a delay by several weeks considering of delays in the ultra-low voltage Core i5 from Intel. Apparently, Intel is whispered to push back the 1.06GHz i5-520UM versus its full-power counterparts, which would mean Apple is forced to not update their ultra-slim notebook at the same moment as the MacBook Pro, or prolong the shipping period. We’re pretty certain that folks who want a new MacBook Air will be disappointed, but at least that disappointment won’t involve any order cancellations or the lack of an older processor – some patience would go a lengthy way in such situations.
