Apple and Intel to Become Buddies?
Reuters is reporting that Apple and Intel are in talks regarding the use of Intel processors in new Apple computers. Will Steve Jobs have it his and get special treatment from Intel
“Apple Computer Inc. has been in talks that could lead to a decision soon to use Intel Corp. chips in its Macintosh computer line, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
Apple could choose to add some Intel-based models to its product line or make a complete shift to Intel’s chip technology in what would be seen as a serious blow to IBM’s microprocessor business, the newspaper said.
Apple sells only about three million computers a year — a small portion of the estimated 200 million sold globally.
But for Intel, winning over Apple would be a prestigious endorsement from one of technology’s most influential trend-setters and could associate the chipmaker with Apple’s hugely popular iPod music player.”
