    This isn't why Apple switched over to Intel chips! If that was the case then why is it that when someone boots up MAC 0S X on a PC it says x86 everywhere?! (I've seen it with my own eyes) That's because they changed the MAC OS X to be run on x86 not some new EPIC or long word architecture... Otherwise Apple would be wasting their time trying to get it to run on x86 if they new of some new architecture coming out by Intel

    And yes I know it said this new architecture would run old x86 stuff but if you are Apple you want your OS to be optimized for the latest and greatest.

    Am I wrong?
