Lots of Apple rumors today following the weekend whispers of a March 24 desktop hardware event, and they fall neatly along the plausibility spectrum:
First up, we'd say a bump of the Mac Pro to Intel's Core i7 processor is looking quite likely -- famed OS X hacker netkas was poking around in a test build of OS X 10.5.7 and found support files for the chip formerly known as Nehalem lurking about, as well as drivers for ATI's Radeon 4000-series GPUs. If you're making a chart, this one's right up there with an NVIDIA-powered iMac refresh -- it's a pretty obvious move.
