It is my understanding that Apple owns a certain amount of the chip
architecture. The processor is mainly a risk processor and the
technology uses vaporized copper instead of aluminum. They have
promised some of the rights to the technology to intel if they are
willing to re-tool and mfg. chips for Apple. Mind you this is what I
have heard so all of this could be way off.
Ummm...what bar were you in when you heard this, and who was buying
your drinks? :-}
Apple has been using Moto/IBM PowerPC processors for years now. I
don't think there is any proprietary Apple technology in the processor
side of things, and Intel has their hands full with their own core
technology; they don't need Apple's help for that :-}.
Of course, I am always ready to learn otherwise...
Regards,
Justin
