An article that’s chock full of quotes from an Intel I/O division talking head, leads off with the words, “industry sources say.” Although chipzilla wonks can technically be referred to as industry sources in the same article in which they’re (more than likely) quoting them by name, it seems like a little face saving is going on here.

Mac Blorge has been telling you for some time that the Cupertino, California-based Mac, iPod and iPhone maker is preparing to update its prosumer desktop and consumer portable product lines, with the former getting a major overhaul and the latter likely receiving refresh (i.e. faster processor, bigger hard disk, etc).
