Isn't it all on this page?

No. Actually this doesn't describe *any* Core i3, Core i5 or Core i7 
processors, only the older Core 1 and Core 2. The requisit pages are 
linked at the bottom.

Even here, the information isn't in a particularly easy form to 
assimilate. This table summarises it at a glance.

Did you actually bother to /read/ the article? There's exactly /one/ 
single place where it mentions i3, i5 and i7 respectively: The "see 
also" section :-P

Damnit, and I *still* forgot to include the required RAM types... *sigh*

Fixed.

Now all I need to do is stare at 20,000 benchmarks and slowly go mad...

Drool all you want, you can't afford it. ;-)

Then again, several of the benchmarks I've looked at have the 2-core 
Core i3 chips at the top of the table, with the 6-core EE chip several 
seconds slower. (Multithreaded, MUCH?)

The real question, of course, is whether the triple-channel RAM (which 
makes the motherboard 120% more expensive) is actually worth it... This 
seems to vary by benchmark.

I wonder how long it will take for hexacore to become cost-effective? 
(Or how long before software starts using it - most software I've seen 
is still doggedly single-threaded!)

Tcch where are the frequency ranges and the L3 cache sizes?

I know the feeling though as DaBoss is throwing in the towel with Windows  
and PC's and wants to go down the dominatrix route with Apple. So i7 or i5  
processor, which ones are they using - doesn't say. Well how many cores  
does it have - doesn't say. Okay something simple, he complains about the  
weight of his laptop so roughly how much does each 'size' weigh - doesn't  
say.

Digging around beyond the configuration screen it states they're using the  
32nm dual cores, tying that to the speeds and the 2xRAM sticks means the  
i5-540M and the i7-620M, still can't find weights except "light" and still  
no built-in Blu-ray option, go figure.
