Apple To Intel
Jun. 6th, 2005 11:37 amI've been reading about this since Thursday, I think, and I'm not convinced.
What I suspect will be the case will be Intel's PCI Express in new Macs. I think the least likely outcome is x86 based Macs.
However, I really have no firm ideas on what the truth behind the rumours could be. I know that if OS X remains the same, if the performance remains the same, if the physical hardware you can see and hold remains the same, I'm not religiously opposed to having a CPU other than PowerPC in the machine - as an end user.
