With the announcement that Apple is switching to Intel, the computing world has been thrown a curve ball. Speculation will run rampant for the next year. We obviously won't know what's going to happen until it happens, but I see a bright future coming out of this. I see Apple with more headroom for the future to create better, faster designs. I see much more opportunity for the hacker community to work with this also.

Reading through these posts I see all sorts of comments about how IBM could not deliver and how IBM screwed up
Did it ever occure to you people that IBM dosen't care?
They still have their entire power line..... and .. they were making a minimal profit on G5's
From IBM's perspective, they may almost be glad that it dosen't have to keep wasting money on R&D on a dumbed down server cpu they were making little money on
IBM does servers, and they do consoles
Now, with all that having been said, I am a fan of the ppc processors including the G5, I really hate to see it go, but I truly believe this switch to Intel will open up the market for apple and allow them to really sperad their wings.
as far as current processors, I would have liked to see them negotiate something with AMD, however, in a year intel will probably have a superior cpu (maybe 2), and a year or 2 after that.... AMD will jump to the front again. My point is... .... ... no point lol
go Apple best of luck
