Apple Moving over to Intel Processors
So the rumours that have been flying about are true. All Apple Macintosh computers in the future will be running on Intel processors. This means that all software written for OS X will have to be rebuilt for the new machines.
I had been dreaming of buying myself a Mac, I wasn’t planning on getting one soon,
but now I know for sure that I won’t be buying one for a while. We will probably have
to wait until at least Spring 2006 before the first Intel based Macintoshes come out Better things download.
Any Macs bought now will be obsolete very quickly.
What do I think of the move? I don’t know. It it funny thinking that a Macintosh will
be running the same hardware as the PC that I am using now. All that seperates them
is the Operating System.
I’m curious to see how this will resonate throughout the tech world.
