That may not matter but the power users, the one whose advice the average mac user seeks, the one that fixes their broken computers and network problems, will out the Intel-less macs as the pure junk they're sure to be. Techies set the beat that the rest of the average users march to. Apple as a premium brand is only as good as its worst products, and so much of the company's value comes from the perceived value of the brand itself. I'm not sure they would allow their products to become this inferior to their competitors and risk it all for slightly higher margins. At best, this is a tactical rumor to gain advantage in some back room deals going on behind the scenes. How do I know that? Because Apple is not suicidal.

Maybe in a parallel universe where AMD didn't sell its fab. Apple buying AMD would be like apple buying a llama ranch... absolutely positively no point.Originally Posted by flash2021
Apple will buy AMD, and start making their "own" chips and give eveyone else the middle-finger...
haha: this is obviously a crazy idea...but it will happen in one of our parallel universes at least
