The possibilities... There's new talk about intel's new processors. For one thing, intel is readying a Celeron part based on the single core "core solo" processor. According to our sources, Apple will likely use a "core solo" part for the MacBook (iBook), but might use a Celeron version for products like the eMac and Mac mini.
