You wish for something that does not exist? I could not find it on the Intel site. Are you sure you do not mean GMA3000?

From a marketing standpoint a 15" MacBook doesn't make any sense, unless they really cripple it. I bet we see 965 chipsets eventually though. Intel is supposed to release the Windows drivers for them any day now.

The 965 chipset is a part of the new Centrino package. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2101695,00.asp?kc=EWEWEMNL030807EP35C
"Intel's Santa Rosa platform. Santa Rosa, officially called Centrino Pro (Apple does not use Intel's platform branding), mates a 64-bit Core 2 Duo processor to a new Intel 965 graphics chip, an 800MHz front-side bus and 4MB of Level 2 cache."
That should make for a nice Mac.

To correct the misleading nomenclature from the lazy Mac news sites, there is no such thing as GMA965. The new Intel G965 chipset is the usually known as the Northbridge chip, and has an integrated graphics controller, the GMA 3000.
See the "Intel G965 Express Chipset Block Diagram" on page 3 of http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/g965/prod_brief.pdf if you are still confused.

I want a matte black MacBook Pro. I remember fondly my old Lombard PowerBook, and I like the look of the matte black MacBook.
