the evn show Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I agree 100% percent with you except on the notion that apple will jump over to AMD. I mean comon do you really think in the signed agreement there is any lee way for that? I doubt intel would allow that especially since they are making such a huge commitment to each other. 586056246[/snapback] If you were an Apple stakeholder having already been screwed by Freescale (n?e Motorola) and IBM would you be in a huge hurry to tie yourself to Intel for any significant length of time? There's no technical reason OS X couldn't run on AMD hardware and I don't think Apple would be very gung-ho to create artificial business reasons that it couldn't. Of course 2 weeks ago I didn't think Apple would move to x86 chips either so my knowledge of this business is suspect at best.

ATLien_0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 it will leak at some point, but with apple making this big of a move to intel most are asking if it will run on a pc, I dont think apple will be even stupider. So I would imagine that it prolly wont run on a pc or at least very well. Apple has been know for making smart moves here is some info on apples proccesor plans http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2005/06/20050609212020.shtml here are the specs of the mac intel comps, they do run windows fine Minor highlights:- "the thing is fast". All iLife apps are already universal binaries - Pentium 4 660 at 3.6GHz, but will not be used in the shipping product (of course, since the high end Intel-Mac is 2 years away) - DDR-2 RAM at 533. SATA-2. - Presently uses the Intel GMA 900 integrated graphics chip set which supports Quartz Extreme. - Regular video cards will be supported, but need drivers - No Open Firmware. Uses Phoenix BIOS.

the evn show Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 But do you understand my point? 586056528[/snapback] Yes I understand the point you were making, I just don't think it's likely. Is there any reason for Apple to sign a deal to stick exclusively with Intel (or IBM/Freescale) processors for <pick a time>? If there is a reason that I can't think of, do you think Apple's corporate types would go for such a deal in light of their previous experiences with other major CPU manufacturers? I don't. This isn't really a huge commitment for Intel. Dell will ship more systems with Intel processors by the end of the month than Apple will ship with any processor all year. Intel's other major customers: HP & IBM/Lenovo wil also ship more Intel CPUs by months end than Apple will ship computers before the first x86 Mac comes out. If Apple doesn't want such a deal, and Intel doesn't really need it - why would either company stick on it? I can see Apple having recieved a discount in exchange for shipping say 2 million CPUs by 2008, but that's fairly standard volume purchase fare. If they did sign on to use only Intel chips that clause is likely to expire long before AMD became leaps and bounds better than Intel by whatever metrics were important to Apple (performance/watt, production capacity, cost/cpu, whatever).

Steve jobs already mentioned somtiem back that "it is an option". And I'd think many companies would do this kind of stuff for experimental purposes anyways.

ph0enix Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Could a newer version of OS X be ready so soon after an official transition announcement? Or do you think this is a marketing scheme on Apple?s behalf to draw even more attention to the recent news? Every build of OS X since the first release has been also compiled for the x86 platform. So OS X is ready to run even when Steve noted during the keynote, that 'we just need your [the developers] help to finish it'. Marketing scheme on Apple's behalf to draw even more attention to the recent news? Why? I don't think Apple need more attention. They have already enough. The big bang is over, so let's get back to business. Apple is switching to Intel. And? The soul of a Mac is its operating system. I think many people have simply ignored the last, but most important message from Steve at the end of his keynote.

WebMotiva Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 When Microsoft is just trying to fight in its 3 battles Apple is winning 2 and starting an advanced war: Microsoft: 1 - Longhorn must be finished sometime in this decade (Too ugly to be true); 2 - MS needs to invade the music market, but how? 3 - MS is only software and it can be pirated. Apple: 1 - Tiger is running and making Windows users dream; 2 - Apple dominates the music market; 3 - Apple is hardware and uses OSX to promote the plataform. Who's winning and who needs help? :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/331263-apple-mac-os-x-1041-for-intel-hits-piracy-sites/page/10/#findComment-586057527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgramGeek Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Please stop posting on the torrents being fake We have had 17 pages of discussion on this leak -- and so far there hasn't been a notable leak to any of the p2p services as we know it. Not only do we not have confirmation of their being a leak in the first place, but we have no real leak of this OS compiled for intel processors. I really don't want to make a call -- but in all likelihood, it's possible something may have leaked -- but the article claimed the leak was being distributed at a fast pace through IRC and p2p networks -- oddly enough, only a fake file was spread. Yes, there are no real people who have a legitimate download of this as we know of, the only people claiming to are a bunch of 12 year-old trolls. So knowing that, get used to hanging around in windows for a long while.
