Intel chips in Macs, yet another architecture <br />change. However, this may yield some interesting opportunities. Apple <br />is looking at the power consumption of the Intel CPUs, very <br />interesting. They are also looking at the cooling factor. It will be <br />interesting to see where they go with it.</p><p class="mobile-post">Marklar, the rumored x86 version of OS X Tiger was revealed today as <br />well. (Despite seen running on an Intel based Xserve 2 months ago <br />before Tiger went Gold Master.) With PPC emulation builtin to allow <br />apps to run without a recompile, it looks interesting. Apple's done <br />the smart thing and made OS X platform independent, basically if a <br />new type of CPU sprang up in the next 10 years, Apple could port OS X <br />to that and do another CPU transition. One big thing to come out of <br />this is that there will be comparison machines ready for when <br />Longhorn is released. It will be interesting to see what an Apple <br />built machine vs a PC running Longhorn will compare. My guess, <br />Apple's machine will be infront unless Longhorn is more than the <br />rehashed-XP beta that was shown a month back.</p><p class="mobile-post">Today the Mac lost its Heart so that tomorrow it will be an equal. <br />However, the Mac still has it's Soul.</p><p class="mobile-post">A new chapter begins...<br />Reece</p>TheLADhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11839350455739644469noreply@blogger.com
