"Apple has used IBM's PowerPC processors since 1994, but will begin
a phased transition to Intel's chips, sources familiar with the
situation said. Apple plans to move lower-end computers such as the
Mac Mini to Intel chips in mid-2006 and higher-end models such as
the Power Mac in mid-2007, sources said."
So how is my OSX software going to run on this alleged "Intel
Inside" Mac? The return of fat binaries? Or does this mean, "Apple
to use Intel ethernet controllers"?
I think everyone is working themselves up over nothing. No one has
any sort of clue what Apple and Intel talked about. Perhaps they
were talking shop about the Intel chips in iPods.
If it is anything new, it would be a completely new product, not a
phasing out of IBM. For Apple to drop IBM and move to a whole new
processor architecture would be... idiocy.
