Speculation on the IP list is that if Apple switches their Macs to Intel chips, they'll still be PowerPC. Apple's deal with IBM lets 'em yank the G5 design and take it to another manufacturer if IBM fails to deliver 3GHz and low-power G5s. Which is, in fact, the case. > Potentially great news for our Intel neighbors in Hillsboro. Even > better if iPod has "Intel Inside". It may already. It's ARM-based, and Intel's xScale operation makes some of the fastest ARM chips around. _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug IRC: irc.freenode.net #pdxlug
