13" MacBook Pro specs leaked, reveal "Thunderbolt" I/O port

More specs for the upcoming 13" MacBook Pro, expected to be revealed this Thursday, have been leaked. The specs, along with a purported photo of the updated laptop's I/O ports, show that the new MacBook Pros are likely to be a very conservative update. However, it appears that rumors that Apple would adopt an Apple-branded version of Intel's Light Peak technology will end up coming to pass.

According to a photo published by MacRumors, the low-end 13" MacBook Pro will receive a handful of changes from the current version. A 2.3GHz dual-core Sandy Bridge Core i5 processor replaced the aging 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor. As we predicted, NVIDIA's 320M controller with its 48-core integrated GPU is getting dumped for an Intel chipset, with Apple relying on Sandy Bridge's integrated Intel HD 3000 GPU to offer comparable graphics performance. (Expect 15" and 17" models to feature discrete mobile GPUs.) SDRAM starts at 4GB and clocked at 1333MHz, slightly faster than the current model's 1066MHz.
