Apple Looking At Intel Chips? Is That Pig Sprouting Wings?
from the I'll-believe-it-when-it's-actually-running... dept
Every few years rumors start spreading that Apple is thinking about switching off IBM chips to Intel chips -- and every few years, those rumors prove to be groundless. However, once again, the rumors are here, and this time they're coming not just from idle speculation, but on reports that executives from the two firms are actually meeting over such things. Still, it would be a big shift, and quite a surprise for many in the industry who thought they'd never see it happen. If anything, maybe it's just a Steve Jobs negotiating ploy to get IBM a little scared.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
