i just heard on NPR that apple computers wants to put Intel procs in their machines. They want to make a partnership with intel. Anyone heard about this?

well, there was rumours since 2000 but nothing clear until now....

I did catch this on ArsTechnica (this story) and the post above is true, this has been rumored for years. I am most inclined to believe the take posted in the linked article...

quote:

The Apple-Intel conversations that the WSJ is reporting likely have to do with Intel's Xscale CPU, a cool little chip that is fantastic for things like appliances and portable devices. Think gadgets and set-top boxes. If Apple is looking at branching out into other consumer electronics hardware, the Xscale would be a logical choice.

I would not hold my breath for x86 chips in Apple computers.
