Apple Hedges Its Bet on New Intel Chips

Posted by Hemos on from the the-smart-move dept.

Corrado writes "The Mercury News is reporting that Apple is still planning to use PowerPC chips well into 2008 for its low end and portable systems. Does this increase the "warm fuzzes" for the Intel move? More information from TheStreet and lots more links from Google News."

    All I have to say is they better not rely on P4 based systems [including the Smithfield P4 [that's the dual core 8x0 series with EM64T]].

    The 64-bit Intel P4 processors are largely inferior to the AMD64 design in ALL respects. So they better pull a new rabit out of their hats.

    Moot, while spelled the same, usually refers to imaginary cases given to law students to argue.

    You mean an imaginary or practice case where the outcome has no instrinsic effect in itself? Kind of like the "mute" point the original poster made?
