Switching to x86 fixes all of this.Ģ) People are seriously deluded if they think Intel made a custom chip for Apple. Even when they were the fastest (pre-G3 and early G5), they still had to worry about what would happen six months down the line. Aren’t they promising >3 GHz chips for Microsoft AND Sony? Don’t they ALREADY fab chips in excess of these speeds for AMD?ĬOGNAC expands to COGNAC Operates Great on New Apple Chips or some silliness.ġ) Why oppose this? This is great for Apple? For the better part of the last decade, Apple has had this CPU thing hung around its neck.
I was seriously hoping that the real Intel news was iPods using XScale processors, as that would be interesting to me.įinally, you’d think IBM was in the know about this early and would have done SOMETHING to stop this Steve tantrum. Some others will just make their Macs dual-boot Windows. Either way, it will be pointless to buy a Mac. They could call it COGNAC, as that’s what I’ll need lots of to deal with this news. Other enterprising devs will implement a complement to WINE to allow Mac OS X apps to run on Windows and other *nixes. Heck, it might become a feature of the next VMWare. People WILL hack OS X to run on non Apple PCs. Both produce nice products, but only for people who give a crap. Now Apple is just another Alienware or Falcon Northwest-style boutique PC builder.
You could have at least gone x86-64 exclusive, for the real performance benefits. “ We will not allow running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac.“ “ We won’t do anything to preclude that.” However, Schiller said the company does not plan to let people run Mac OS X on other computer makers’ hardware. “ That doesn’t preclude someone from running it on a Mac. UPDATE: After Jobs’ presentation, Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller addressed the issue of running Windows on Macs, saying there are no plans to sell or support Windows on an Intel-based Mac.
‘Rosetta’ will allow PowerPC compiled apps to work on an Intel Mac. Developers applauded Steve when he said that both processors would be supported for a long time and the core to this will be universal binaries. Today’s WWDC demonstration has been done entirely on an Intel Mac Xeon-P4. Jobs talked about IBM missing the 3 GHz mark for the G5 and not being able to put one in a PowerBook. Says that Intel offers a better roadmap for the markets that Apple services. Apple will ship a Mac with Intel processors by June 6th, 2006, as reports said. There have been rumors to this effect… We’ve had teams working on the ‘just in case’ scenario.” said Steve Jobs. “ Mac OS X has been leading a secret double life.
