I Followed the link there to http://www.amdzone.com and sure enough in their news on the main page there is a blurb about a large amount of Apple people attending Comdex...with rumored attendance at Hector Ruiz's keynote for AMD where they are going to announce a new lisencee (I can't spell)...scroll down more they say AMD possibly delayed release of the 64-bit Hammer processor to give Apple time to finish porting OS X....scrolling down further is a blurb (yes I like the word 'blurb' damnit!) that on Apple's open-source site there are some links for developers about the x86-64 platform for compiling applications...basically a lot of interesting little blurbs. But what could this all add up to? Were we foolish to expect Apple to wait an entire year for IBM's PPC 970 stuck with sh*tty Moto G4's? A year is a long time...the G4 is dying quickly ( mostly due to incompetence on Moto's part, but nevertheless still dying... ). AMD's new 64-bit Hammer processor is right on the horizon...Apple could really be in place to take it and blow the consumer market apart with 64-bit desktop machines....I don't think they'll abandon the G4 completely right away...keep it in the i/eMac and shove it into the next iBooks, possibly keep it in the TiBooks even for one more revision. I've never taken the Apple on x86 rumors too seriously until now...and with all the past ones it adds up, I think something is definately brewing here. Perhaps Apple will still use the PPC 970 when it finally is released...give consumers the option of a PPC or x86 chip in their PowerMac...or maybe instead of all that I just said I'm just totally off my rocker and going insane. Either is quite possible at this point. What do all of you think?

Also just noted that the weekly poll on the main amdzone.com page is "Next AMD Customer?
Is Apple or Dell more likely to be the next AMD customer?"
0 Apple is really thinking different!
0 Dude, Dell!

Interestingly enough Apple is favored 58.48% to Dell's 41.52%...
Just a stupid poll but makes me wonder even more...
