Our next PowerBook ... a Pentium?
There we were, wondering if Apple was going to use the worldwide developers' conference to announce a G5 PowerBook ... which would mean an abrupt devaluation of our investment in the new 15-inch Aluminium. But maybe we don't have to worry about that quite yet.
John Markoff reports that the reason Apple will announce, overnight, that it's going to migrate to Intel chips, includes the fact that IBM hasn't been able to come up with a version of the G5 PowerPC chip that generates less heat - a crucial feature for notebook computers.
Mac Man, however, is sceptical.

if the heat is the issu then why not go with the AMD???
AMD has better 64bit processer as well.
hope that apple is talking to AMD as well
and if apple get to use the x86 CPUs and runs native then new computer user has a choise of microsoft or Apple how good that would be. more compatition for microsoft!!!

Well it's official. Apple is in bed with Intel. I never thought I'd see the day.
