As PC manufacturers continue stuffing faster and more capable chips into laptops, Apple has nothing left to do but drop a G5 chip into its iBook/Powerbook line. Apple’s current problem with today’s G5 chip is heat. No one wants to keep a hotplate on their laps.
I don’t think Apple would ever plaster an ‘Intel Inside’ sticker on its beautiful machines… This was just for kicks. Look for the announcement tomorrow.
I still can’t imagine such a drastic switch to occur.
Well remember that XBOX development was done on the Power PC architecture. I imagine Intel could meet Apple’s needs and expectations.
