This article is not quite correct about why Apple switched to Intel. IBM was unable to provide a G5 chip suitable for laptop use. That's the whole reason in a nutshell.
- my123 9y agoApple knew about the P.A. Semi PWRficient, which was a beast beyond Intel chips by a large margin.
- wtallis 9y agoThe PWRficient processors started shipping a year after Intel's 64-bit mobile processor (Core 2). If PA Semi had delivered those chips two years earlier, Apple would probably have used them and put off the Intel switch.
