Thank you Dan, that actually makes a lot of sense looking at it from that
standpoint.

I'm sorry, I take some of that back. I didn't have a chance to read up on
it till now. I could see the move for the very low end products, but for
the higher end I don't see them keeping them all ARM. That would cause a
strong drop in business(and student for some applications) base.
On Sat, Ma
Not really. The iPhone is running a stripped down version of OS X. So they
already have it wrote, and would just add back the parts that they stripped
from it. I don't think they will move away from the intel because they have
been starting to used the i7 and i5 cpu's, which is what people have

The point of view over at AnandTech seems to be different IMO.

About your bet, Dan, what do you think will happen to the Mac Pro line? At
the time I see no alternative to Xeon Nehalems. The reason I am concerned
about this is because I use computers also to compute number sequences and
there you need all the power you can get. And more cores mean more interval

LOL. This was all done in the press as minor stories back in
January. It's only now that they've picked it up again during this
slow news cycle.
Ok... The facts:
ARM is an up and coming architecture whoze
So Apple will just stick to intel on high-performance models, while using
ARM for everything else? That seems too optimistic to be true... that would
mean that Apple would have to develop 2 parallel versions of OS X at the
same time, one for ARM and other for Intel. This actually is nothing new,

Wow!
If Apple goes to ARM on laptops, wouldn't that be like going back to the
PowerPC. I know that the times are different today and that ARM is way
better off than PowerPC was in 2005 as far as Apple is concerned, but still,
what would the performance of say future equivalent of MacBook pro be?

An opinion.
