The rumors are true: Intel
will be inside (the Mac) according to the MacWorld WWDC
coverage:
As the Intel
logo lowered on the stage screen, Jobs said, "We are going to
make the transition from PowerPC to Intel processors, and we are going
to do it for you now, and for our customers next year. Why? Because we
want to be making the best computer for our customers looking
forward."
"I stood up here two years ago and promised you 3.0 GHz. I think a lot of you would like a G5 in your PowerBook, and we haven't been able to deliver that to you," said Jobs. "But as we look ahead, and though we've got great products now, and great PowerPC products still to come, we can envision great products we want to build, and we can't envision how to build them with the current PowerPC roadmap," said Jobs.
Intel processors provide more performance per watt than PowerPC processors do, said Jobs. "When we look at future roadmaps, mid-2006 and beyond, we see PoweRPC gives us 15 units of perfomance per watt, but Intel's roadmap gives us 70. And so this tells us what we have to do," he explained.
