Apple goes for AMD - just a rumor
Folks, actually you'll reading above its just a mail i recieved a couple of days ago - from a friend, who is an employee of a big chip comp. He is not that type you'd call an applefreak, but he is somewhat concerned about technology, he is also writing for arstechnica.com, anyhow, ...
Thats what he put on me:
...

i'll stop here, grab what you want
have a nice day

Maybe it's because I just woke up or maybe it's because I'm still fighting off this damn flu but I didn't understand a word of that quote...

1. Apple buys out MOT's PowerPC or Semiconductor assets. Development goes in-house and IBM manufactures.
2. Apple/IBM license AltiVec and IBM develops/produces the PowerPC.
3. Similar to the above, but Apple also partners w/AMD to produce or work with IBM on the chips they are designing. Still follows the PowerPC architecture. (IBM takes MOT's role, and AMD takes IBM's former role).
...there are problems with Motorola, yes, but there's no reason in the world for Apple to pass up their relationship with IBM and undergo a complete processor platform switch right now. This quote looks like bull to me - not that it meant anything in the first place.

not sure if it's true, but if you wanted to read between the lines, that's probably what it would say.
