Is this the Intel Core i7-2635QM 2.0 GHz that Apple is using in the server mini? Benchmarks very well in the MBP. I ordered mine with SSD and 7200 rpm option. Had to change my order with customer service, but am glad I opted on the ssd version for sure.

I've not seen which i7 is in there but there are only 2 2.0GHz mobile i7s.

The specs for the i7-2635QM and i7-2630QM are virtually the same except for the graphics which on the 2635QM turbos at 1200MHz where the 2630QM turbos at 1100MHz.

I would hope that as the MM server doesn't have ATI graphics that Apple went with the i7-2635QM for the increase in graphics speed.

Putting the core O/S and Apps on the SSD will give you much better performance with the 7200 for user data.

May it arrive quickly :)
