Place Your Bets: Apple-Intel

Rules are simple: Will Apple announce a switch to an Intel (or other non-PowerPC CPU) as the widespread reports indicate?

I'm deliberately not including an "Unsure" or "Maybe."

This is just for fun. I don't want to have another discussion of why this is good, bad, smart, insane, or preordained. That discussion is up at

Voting is anonymous, but comment if you want to go on record. No drawn-out discussions, please.

I actually think they might do it.

I'm going to go with the thought that they will use both Intel and IBM with their computers.

I voted no, but I am far from sure. There are too many unknowns at this point and many of the "knowns" do not make sense.

i think these rumors are wrong and that intel will just be making ibms powerPC chip in there facilitys

im going for no

I will say no. I believe that Apple know this change will destroy its user base.

My vote was no, because there wasn't an option for my exact guess. I think it's possible (likely) that Apple will indeed switch to Intel as the chip supplier for new Macs, but that the chips will not be x86.

i voted no

because i dont yet believe it and also if it is true , i dont want it to be true , i love the ppc on the mac , we'll see though , im hoping it's not true (fingers crossed)

It's true

i voted yes, because it seems very plausible.

Are there going to be clones now.

I wish they would go more into that.. I don't see why Apple would allow that, so I am sure a lot more specs will come out soon. Maybe not at the keynote, but definitely on Apple's site.
