Digitimes again is making waves on the Mac web about a possible use of Intel technology in upcoming Macs.
Although Intel only demonstrated its Robson cache technology in the fourth quarter of last year, sources now claim that Apple Computer will launch a notebook computer in the middle of this month that utilizes the NAND flash based cache memory technology.

According to them a widescreen iBook and G5 iBooks and G5 PowerBooks were all due in 2005.
