Intel Encyclopedia Article, Information, History and Biography @ LaunchBase.com Apple initially planned to put Intel chips in all of their computers by the end of 2007[1], but according to Jobs the transition will now be complete by the end of 2006[2]. During the 1990s, Intel's Intel Architecture Labs (IAL) was responsible for many of the hardware innovations of the personal computer, including the PCI Bus, the PCI Express (PCIe) bus, the Universal Serial Bus (USB), and the now-dominant architecture for multiprocessor servers. Intel's dominance in the x86 microprocessor market led to numerous charges of antitrust violations over the years, including FTC investigations in both the late 1980s and in 1999, and civil actions such as the 1997 suit by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and a patent suit by Intergraph. www.launchbase.com /encyclopedia/Intel   (2009 words)

IA-64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although Apple might have challenged Intel with its XServe product line based on the IBM PowerPC architecture, any such prospect evaporated with the announcement of Apple's adoption of the Intel IA-32 architecture for its future products. In computing, IA-64 (Intel Architecture-64) is a 64-bit processor architecture developed in cooperation by Intel and Hewlett-Packard, implemented by processors such as Itanium and Itanium 2. Unlike Intel x86 processors, the Itanium is not geared toward high performance execution of the IA-32 (x86) instruction set. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/IA-64   (2009 words)

MacNN Apple's Intel transition could slow Mac sales Apple's move to the Intel architecture may affect sales in the near-term, according to a TheStreet.com columnist. The Intel news on 6/6 did delay his purchase decision by a couple of weeks but he finally went with it because he knew the iMac was the right tool for his needs. Apple's market share has been in a steady, slow decline for a long time though aggregate users have increased as the market has exploded. legacy.macnn.com /news/29839   (1668 words)

Geek.com Geek News - Apple's Intel transition not as smooth as expected Apple pretty much released their new Mactel's at the same time as Intel released their Duo Core architecture, this was a big mistake, one Apple should expect frequently with Intel. Apple won't go cheap-- they start at midrange, and it is important to compare "Apples to Apples," but it's also important that people realize that you get what you pay for, and oftentimes cheap computers cost more in the long run in service calls and lost productivity. Apple users are going to have to realize that there are now two companies actively involved here, one with strict attention to detail, and one that has been fledgling to introduce a good product for the last decade. www.geek.com /news/geeknews/2006Jan/bma20060130034492.htm   (7622 words)

PC Pro: News: Apple looks towards Intel architecture Later today, Apple CEO Steve Jobs will announce that the company is to begin migrating to an Intel-based architecture next year, according to various Internet sources. Switching to Intel's x86 platform could have significant benefits for Apple, not least it would guarantee that it can keep pace, performance-wise, with PC builders, whilst enabling it to cut costs. Talks between the two companiescame to light in the Wall Street Journal a fortnight ago and now the US business newspaper reports that Apple has begun briefing some partners about its plans. www.pcpro.co.uk /news/news_story.php?id=73509   (7622 words)

PCI Expansion Bus Architecture PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) is a high-performance expansion bus architecture that was originally developed by Intel to replace the traditional Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) and Enhanced Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) buses found in many 80x86-based PCs. More specifically, the fact that these systems contain only PCI slots allows Apple to take full advantage of the power of the RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architecture, enabling all PCI cards to run at the maximum speed of 33 megahertz.

20050523-4932.html The Apple-Intel conversations that the WSJ is reporting likely have to do with Intel's Xscale CPU, a cool little chip that is fantastic for things like appliances and portable devices. So is not out of the question—indeed, it is quite plausible—that Apple and Intel are having conversations about Apple using Intel chips in their product line. According to the article, Apple and Intel have been in discussions over moving Apple's CPU business from IBM to Intel. arstechnica.com /news.ars/post/20050523-4932.html   (599 words)

Apple: Design and software, not hardware, distinguish Macs from Intel-based PCs TG Daily Saying Apple is responsible for the architecture and assembly of the Macs' new hardware, as it has been for all prior models, Boger stated that the three factors that distinguish Apple's new systems from Core Duo-based PCs designed to run Windows, are form factor, operating system, and applications. This may not be a fact that Apple prefers to emphasize, which is probably why it refrained from adding the "Intel Inside" sticker, prominent on Windows PCs, to the outside of its new Intel-based models. Cupertino (CA) - In an exclusive interview this afternoon with TG Daily, Apple Computer's senior director for desktops, Tom Boger, dispelled rumors that its new hardware partner, Intel, manufactured more components for the company than just the CPU and on-board chipset for his company's new iMacs and MacBook Pro models. www.tgdaily.com /2006/01/18/software_not_hardware_distinguishes_macs   (1543 words)

Apple Mac OS X on x86: a first test: Operating Systems Software When Steve Jobs announced the platform change, he publicly demonstrated Apple computers with Intel processors running an x86 version of Mac OS X. The OS is bound directly to the hardware by a special security chip. Its decision to support the x86 architecture lies in the unsatisfactory performance of the incumbent PowerPC processors -- particularly in the lucrative and growing notebook market, where the IBM/Motorola-designed PowerPC chips clearly lag behind Intel's CPUs. Were Apple to put the x86 version of its operating system on general release, Dell would begin to manufacture Apple clones. cnet.com.au /software/operatingsystems/0,39029541,40058265,00.htm   (672 words)

Intel's market dominance (at one time it controlled over 85% of the market for 32-bit PC microprocessors), combined with Intel's own hardball legal tactics (such as its infamous 338 patent suit versus PC manufacturers) made it an attractive target for litigation, but few of the lawsuits ever amounted to anything. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Intel   (1168 words)

The Apple Blog » Apple and Intel Using an Intel CPU may preclude Apple from using HyperTransport, a technology they are obviously happy with, and that would lead to longer and more expensive development of the new hardware. Apple could be talking to Intel about developing a PowerPC compatible version of their Centrino technology, which combines networking, interfacing and most importantly wireless networking technology together into a single chipset. Even if Apple ported the rest of OS X to Intel – and let’s ignore the fact that it might be for the purposes of a faster processor and is, instead, for compatibility reasons with Windows applications, there’s still more to do. www.theappleblog.com /2005/05/23/apple-and-intel   (1193 words)

DUB Messages / apple hitches cart to intel wagon? Intel gets almost as much bad press as Apple from the general public. If the new generation of Apple Computers remains true to the idea of design and application, then they'll be better (by generation two or three) and it'll be stylish and worthwhile (as is everything Jobs works on.) While the idea of having a "Maceron2" processor in my apple does bum me out, it remains to be seen. www.imperialdub.com /dubmessages/viewtopic.php?pid=6738   (281 words)

1 The following hypothetical Apple-Intel road map is based on the reasonable presumption that Apple does not consider the ageing, power-hungry Netburst architecture to be an improvement over the relatively new and powerful G5 architecture, and that they'll skip Netburst entirely in favor of Yonah and its more power-efficient successors. Hell freezes over; it must've been the liquid cooling: Hannibal on the Apple-to-Intel transition Now that the shock from the Apple-Intel announcement has had some time to set in, it's time to take a look at what this means for the Mac platform in the near- and long-term future. www.arstechnica.com /columns/mac/mac-20050608.ars/1   (1170 words)
