Apple explores use of Intel chips
Another rumor that Apple will use Intel chips. Personally I don’t care what chips are in their computers, but I find it hard to believe that they would just switch the whole line over to a new processor and dump IBM.
The report, citing two industry executives with knowledge of recent discussions between the companies, said Apple (Research) will agree to use Intel (Research) chips.
Neither company would confirm the report and an Apple spokeswoman told the Journal she would characterize it as “rumor and speculation.”
Update 05/24/05 7:59am: This is exactly what I think too.
ut Kevin Krewell, editor in chief of newsletter Microprocessor Report, said he smells an orchestrated media ploy by Apple to pressure IBM to improve its supply problems, which have led to delays in some Apple products. “I believe this is a purely negotiating move by Apple to grab some attention and headlines and to point out that they’re feeling underappreciated by IBM,” Krewell said.

Pressed about security by Mr. Mossberg, Mr. Otellini had a startling confession: He spends an hour a weekend removing spyware from his daughter’s computer. And when further pressed about whether a mainstream computer user in search of immediate safety from security woes ought to buy Apple Computer Inc.’s Macintosh instead of a Wintel PC, he said, “If you want to fix it tomorrow, maybe you should buy something else.”
