Well, it wasn't stupid nonsense or fantastic fiction, what I had assumed. I found the news article which I had read a year ago. Even though it was only based on a rumor. The time of those smartphones is going to come with Intel's new 45nm "Moorestown"). Soon! http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/226/1042226/iphone-x86 """Iphone to go x86 Moorestown is fruity By Charlie Demerjian Wednesday, 12 March 2008, 14:53 THE IPHONE IS going to go x86 in a year or two, and Moorestown is set to be the lead vehicle. A year of whispers was finally nailed down a few days ago with a comment and a slide. First let me say that the rumour mill has been running amok since the launch of the Iphone, all based on rabid speculation. The same people who told the Inq about Apple going Intel before it happened are now saying Ix86phone. Still, multiple rumour sources are not enough, we need more evidence.""" _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
