Apple to switch to Intel chips!
Apple to switch to Intel chips!
06/06/2005 12:13 AMApple Computer plans to announce Monday that it's scrapping its
partnership with IBM and switching its computers to Intel's
microprocessors. Apple has been using PowerPC chips to power their
Macintosh line of computers since 1994. But according to CNET, Apple
is scheduled to announce this Monday at their Worldwide Developer's
Conference their intention to make the switch.
Those who remember the migration from the 68k series chips back in the
early 90s may recall that it took some doing. To run at optimal
speeds, software has to be recompiled to the native chipset.
Migrating to a totally different platform such as PowerPC to Intel
will be a significant upheaval.
When Apple announced their move to IBM's next-generation PowerPC
chipsets (now in the G5) some
pundits have long made the argument that Apple
can't ship enough computers to remain competitive on both price and
performance with computers powered by Intel-compatible CPUs. Simply
put, economies of scale were working against Apple in the long-run.
According to a CNET source, what may have spurred the change was just
that -- IBM's concerns about making a low-volume chip that competes
with x86's in performance in the same price-range. The question is,
can the Mac survive a transition from the PowerPC to Intel-based CPUs
with the corresponding software compatibility/optimization issues?

06/05/2005 11:20 PMAccording to CNET News, Apple will ditch IBM's line of PowerPC
processors in favor of Intel microprocessors. "Apple plans to move
lower-end computers such as the Mac Mini to Intel chips in mid-2006
and higher-end models such as the Power Mac in mid-2007," asserts
CNET. The announcement is expected to be made this Monday during
Apple's CEO Steve Jobs' Worldwide Development Conference (WWDC)
keynote speech.

Apple's announcement last week that Macs
would be switching away from the PowerPC chip to Intel-based CPUs sure
was exciting, wasn't it? After all, Intel is part of the massive
Wintel conspiracy that all right-thinking members of the Macintosh
rebellion have been fighting against for so many years, correct?
(Psst... That's Star Wars you're thinking of. What we have here is
just a bunch of technology companies jostling for position.)

abandonment of the PowerPC chips. By Jason Snell, Macworld
On Apple and Intel
On Apple and Intel
06/17/2005 04:39 PMA zillion words have been written on this, but a few more won’t
hurt. First off, I’m amused by the few brave souls writing about the
pricing, whether or not Apple will spend less per Intel chip than
they were with IBM. You can safely ignore them, because it’s like
this: there are a few Really Big Secrets that very few people and no
journalists know: one of them is how much box-builders like Apple, HP,
Dell, and Sun pay chip-builders like Intel, IBM, and AMD. I bet that
when whoever at Apple sat down across the table from whoever at Intel
the negotiation was complicated and involved lots more than the
per-chip cost. You know what I, personally and selfishly, hope Steve
asked for? First cut at those Intel “Yonah” chips that everyone
thinks are going to be just the greatest thing, so I can get a faster
laptop than anyone. Second point: I bet that some Apple VIP
has, as of today, got regularly scheduled meetings with an AMD VIP,
because the x86 companies are now competing for Apple’s business on
a pretty level playing field. Finally, I can’t leave this
territory without a pointer to Paul Murphy, who as usual is pointing in a
different direction from everyone else, but who (also as usual) is
worth reading.

Dvorak reports
that the leak about Apple switching from IBM PPC chips to Intel was
leaked by someone at IBM to analysts who leaked it to CNet or someone
close to CNet and then somehow the Wall Street Journal got the story.
He wonders whether Apple was suing bloggers in anticipation of this
announcement to try to plug the leaks. Dan Gillmor wonders whether
Apple is going to sue CNet.

10/29/2003 02:21 AMA story on Macrumors.com notes that Apple did indeed consider moving
to Intel processors, but determined the change in system architecture
might be too slow and would "deeply affect its current customer base."
The result of this determination was the PowerPC 970, which was a 12
to 18 month collaborative effort between IBM and Apple and provided a
far better solution than moving to Intel's architecture. The article
notes that "IBM has committed to provide several generations...
