Apple Switching to Intel Processors
Posted on: Wednesday, 17 May 2006, 12:02 CDT
California's Apple Computer Co. is replacing the IBM processors in all its laptops with Intel chips.
The company said Wednesday on its Web site that the Intel Core Duo is actually two execution cores built into a single chip.
It's the first power-efficient Intel chip born of the new 65-nanometer process, which allows for the creation of transistors so small, you could fit a hundred inside a single human cell, Apple said. With two powerful processors designed to share resources and circuitry so unimaginably small, Intel Core Duo achieves far higher levels of performance while actually consuming less power.
Apple said most existing Apple applications will run on Intel-based MacBook.
