Apple are migrating the Mac from the PPC CPU to the x86 over the
next
two years. x86 based Macs are available for developers now, and the
first x86 Macs for sale to the general public will be available
within
a year.
Yep. Apple wants a piece of the TCPA/Palladium Pie.
They could probably could get that just as well if they had gone with
AMD, whose processors are superior almost every which way to Intel's.
No, I think Intel made them an offer they couldn't refuse, and IBM
refused to match.
Perhaps. But it _is_ about the fact the Apple is becoming a
Content-Cartel-Control-Pimp and TCPA/Palladium fit with their new
business model.
As Maru says, not that it would have made that much of a difference
whether they went with Intel or AMD:
1. What is TC - this `trusted computing' business?
The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is an alliance of Microsoft,
Intel, IBM, HP and AMD which promotes a standard for a `more secure'
PC.
