Category Image Apple with Intel Inside


About two years ago, computer guru Rush Limbaugh said that "The G5 is going to go to 64-bits, and it's going to change everything." The first part of his statement was a simple matter of fact, while the second part was a prediction. Just two years later, one can argue that Rush's prediction has, in an odd way, come to pass. Beginning next year, Apple Macintosh computers will have Intel inside. Why? Because of IBM's priorities and failure to put out satisfactory G5s, both 3+ GHz and those that could be put into a laptop. I don't think that Apple had much choice.

It will be interesting to see how the Apple-Intel deal affects sales of Macs over the next year.
