yeah - this happened yesterday - basically they have dropped the single processer G5 - they are now all dualies. so...?

...with the new chips... PowerMac i5 PowerBook i5 ...and those numbers change with the new chips... its keeps the naming convention in line with 'G4, G5' etc - but puts a new streamlined twist onto it... the word 'power' will stay - its now synonymous with the brand - and the brand is...

pjeski - IBM hit a wall, development on the G5 chip just stalled - and their main customers are now the games machines makers. why develop for apple when they are tiny slice of revenue? plus IBM could never get enough G5 chips to apple as they needed them. their supply chain was terrible -...

i'm coming round to your argument actually metro10 i'm going to sell my G4 powerbook - i mean c'mon!!! - no G5!??! SCREW THAT! one of those great dells you see advertised on the back of tv guides MUST be better because its SO much cheaper! and my ipod - rubbish!!! - iriver for me...

...the CHANCE that an Apple Intel Mac COULD be JUST A PC with an Apple badge... what? do you have any idea what apple as a brand and a maker is all about? thats such a clueless statement. apple have never chased mass market share - they've never undercut - they've never 'sold out' and...

metro10 you're right! your G5 is a pile of sh*t!!! grrrr @ apple!!! that dell would have been miles and miles and miles better than a poxy G5!!! and that 23" lcd?!?!?!?! what were apple thinking! drop kick that pile of trash into next tuesday! ...right?...

its working fine. http://www.intel.com/ intel are enjoying a strong day on the stocks today. great day for a new apple partner - outlook is good! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4079378.stm

Well said Lt Major Burns! I can't believe these cry babies who suddenly think that because an internal part of a computer has changed that their whole computing experience has come crashing down! Open up you're mac and you'll see a world of different brand names in there. And think...

jzdziarski - by the time leopard should be released (according to jobs) at the end of 2006 - intelmacs will only have been on market for 6 months... so how many people here actually believe that developers etc will suddenly stop making stuff for the HUGE market on PPC for the sake of a...

well they can't go on supporting OS 9 and further back forever now can they?! by the time leopard should be released (according to jobs) at the end of 2006 - intelmacs will only have been on market for 6 months... so how many people here actually believe that developers etc will suddenly...

'...In addition to the news from Intel, our sources reported that at least one of the tier-one motherboard makers is currently working on a motherboard solution that would support Intel’s upcoming microprocessor...' yep - it all sounds like its coming together... the tech is being made NOW to...

something i wrote elsewhere regarding a person who is saying that the mac the need 'now' won't be bought until the new intelmacs are released... '...those people saying they wont buy a mac for a year or two are as stupid as people can get. if apple didnt change chips yesterday and you...

good lord! what an awful bunch of options - what do you actually hope to derive and achieve with such a poll - offering such loaded and directionless choices to the question? could you at least make sure people know this is totally tongue in cheek and pointless?...

no-one here has any idea what intel has in its labs - that they've been working on and developing with apple for the last 5 years... for 5 years OSX has worked on their chips! i can imagine that the intel chips going into mac will be custom chips for apple and their roadmap - this isn't...

i've been using macs for over ten years. as long as the OS is as great and robust as its always been i really dont care what chip its running on as long as that chip is the best apple can get hold of. so why can you not accept the idea that one innovative company is doing business with...

ok theres a chip change which makes great wwdc content - but for consumers - (yes its good to, hopefully faster macs) - wheres the phone? the iHome? the speed bumps to current lines? the airport express 2? the multi button mouse? the 'breakout box'? the new shuffle? the '512mb as standard'? the...

macfreak - what do you mean? all apple hardware - hardrives, optical drives, memory even the chip! etc is 'off the shelf' - which is then bought together by apple and built as one of its machines. just because the chip is different why would any of that change?

does it really matter so much to you cfleck? - what does it matter what chip is in the box?? apple will lock it down and it wont matter one jot. - they've made a sound business decision based on what intel can offer to apples own road map. they could have made the switch 5 years ago by the...

RGrphc2 - your last paragraph rings most true... this is more than likely something that is for something totally different - and if it is for a Mac - then Apple will totally lock it down to only run OSX anyway. remember folks - the WWDC is tomorrow - and rumours of new products etc are so...

the title of the threads reads Mac to use Intel Chips! no they're not - even the first line of the article says - 'Apple Computer plans to announce Monday...' so its not fact - indeed (as of now) they are not about to 'use Intel Chips' its just baseless speculation as per. why...
