Love to see you try competing with Intel, Apple. But who knows what they have the money to accomplish.

Long story short, if Apple did this it would not be x86 and they would have to abandon all of the app store software written by third parties. It would be a huge blow to Apple, just so they could save some money on CPUs. I don't see this happening, but crazier things have happened...

if they switch from intel it would simply be to get more profit from sales. Do not expect price drops.

Apple can switch to amd and the computers would be just as good.

exactly...if it's not a fact then it should be in the rumor subforum? insiders are just as well as rumors. Peek into the rumor forum and it's always according to "sources". Until there's an official announcement there's nothing that's confirmed. Besides the facebook phone rumor article, everything in this forum is for official or credible news.

Also to avoid the already needless apple bashing, as if this is a fact. rolleyes.gif

plus the initial thread about this is already in that section. This brings nothing new nor confirms anything new.

Why change what isn't broken? Apple still uses quick chips, and they are obviously pricing them right, considering a staggering amount of sales year after year.
