Dvorak: Apple to go Intel within 18 Months

[YanBooth]

:blink: : <_<

why Intel!? they became the ***** CPU long ago... wouldnt AMD be a wiser choice if they are dumping motorola, and they can just choose?

I agree, I think Intel has a monopoly on the market, a monopoly ruled by cheap, crappy, HOT, low quality CPU's. I wish they would go with AMD dual core CPU's... 128 bit!

Before you post, please check the date on the last post. It is not polite to resurrect a thread that has not seen activity in over a year.

''apple's concern is that Motorola may muddy the situation, so Jobs will have to convince Motorola and customers that the PowerPC will not be phased out but will remain as part of a dual-processor architecture.'' from article


so is the do go to intel(please no) we still have a powerPc

SHould I wait for that, instead of getting my Powerbook G4 in June, so I can have intel processors in my Powerbook

... This thread, which started 2 years ago, suggested Apple would move to Intel in 18 months (six months ago). Apple is not moving to Intel, nor are the moving to AMD. This is Dvorak making a wildly speculative statement and being wrong.

No, no. It's not going to happen. People like Dvorak (and Cringely) make stupid observations about how Apple isn't doing well and that they'll do some ridiculous thing like this (remember, these are the same type of people who thought the iPod was going to be disasterous flop.)

Intel's Itaniums are expensive and inefficent and don't hold a candle to the PowerPC line of processors. Apple would never use them.
