The first model, Core i5-2537M is classified as energy-efficient processors, while the latter two will be used in desktop systems, the budget class.

Unlike most mobile processors, Core II (Sandy Bridge), which were formally presented after the New Year, all of these models have a 2 instead of 4 cores. In quantities of 1000 units and above, they will cost 250, 266, 225, 346, 346, 317, 138 and $ 117 respectively. New items are based on micro-Sandy Bridge, made of 32-nm process technology and have a 32-nm graphics processor integrated into the processor die.

As expected, the new MacBook Pro from Apple will be equipped with dual-core processor is Core II (Sandy Bridge).
