    MacBook is rumored to be getting Santa Rosa upgrades in the fall, possibly October.

    Here's a list of all available Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile CPU's out at the moment:

    http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2duo/specifications.htm

    Just match the processor speed and FSB/Cache and you can figure out what CPU the current laptops have. For instance, the 2.2GHz MBP is T7500 and the 2.4GHz MBP is T7700. Santa Rosa CPU's also are odd numbers such as T7100,7300,7500,7700 whereas the older Merom CPU's are T7200,T7400, and so forth. FSB on Santa Rosa is also 800MHz whereas it is 667MHz on Merom.
