Intel Inside
08 Jun 2005 | Comments OffThe rumors were true. Yesterday, Apple computer announced that they would be gradually transitioning their entire product line over to Intel processors during the next two years! By 2007 there will be no more Motorola or IBM chips used in Apple computers. No more G5 processors. Only Intel inside…
As a long time Mac user, this news is as shocking as it is interesting. It’s hard to imagine that Apple is siding with a company that has been viewed by the Mac community as an enemy for over 10 years. Now suddenly Intel is our friend? Weren’t they the inferior product yesterday?
I’m sure that I’ll have more to say about this turn of events, but I’m going to hold my comments and wait for the dust to settle a little more. Certainly this is a big move for Apple and the Mac community. I just hope Apple doesn’t put those horrible “Intel Inside” stickers on their computers. That would be just creepy…
Update:
Maccentral has an excellent story about Apple’s transition to Intel chips. It can be seen here.
