"?It?s a very good fit,? Mulloy said. ?Apple has a track record of being the most innovative PC company, and we think we are very innovative as a semiconductor manufacturer.?
64-bit chipsets, 90-nanometer technology and Dual Core
One of those innovations pushed by Apple is 64-bit processing, a technology that lets you address more memory than with standard 32-bit chips. In promoting Mac OS X Apple has touted the benefits of 64-bit processing for handling heavy-duty tasks.
Complementing that, Intel has 64-bit chips in its arsenal. The Pentium D Dual Core?a derivative of the Pentium 4?and the Itanium both offer 64-bit capabilities, according to Intel. The company would not say whether Apple would use one of these chips or a completely different model.
Intel currently uses a 90-nanometer process in manufacturing its chips. In fact, Mulloy said that Intel has ?more 90-nanometer chips than anyone else.? That?s likely of interest to Apple, which a year ago, cited unforeseen challenges of moving to a 90-nanometer process in explaining why a promised 3GHz Power Mac G5 hadn?t shipped."
"Later this year, Intel will start up a converted factory in Arizona that will churn out chips based on a 65-nanometer process. Another plant in Ireland will follow next year manufacturing the same chipsets.
?As people just start rolling out 90-nanometer, we are about to do 65 [nanometer],? Mulloy said."
"If you have a cell phone, there is a better than 70 percent chance you have Intel Flash memory in it. If you have one of the newer PDAs, there is probably a 75 to 80 percent chance that there is an Intel processor in it. And Intel components are even in the ABS systems on your car,? Mulloy said. ?We are the world?s largest semiconductor manufacturer?we have a reputation based on microprocessors, but we have a very broad portfolio and we are continuing to push that.?"
"Intel typically partners with its OEMs like Dell to help in their advertising efforts. While helping the OEM, the ads also market the Intel processor. Mulloy wouldn?t comment on whether the Apple/Intel deal announced this week would include any kind of co-marketing plan.
?Apple has one of the top brands in the world, and I?m sure they will do what they need to be consistent with what people have come to expect from them,? Mulloy added. ?The key for us is to give them what they need for them to be successful. What they do with respect to marketing is going to be their call?far be it for us to tell them how to manage their brand.?"
Luxology already switched.

"?We had a programmer working on this immediately following Apple?s announcement and within 20 minutes modo was not only compiled as a universal binary but actually running on the Intel-based Macs,? said Luxology president Brad Peebler in a statement"

Anyone crying for PPC and MotoStink/IBM is higher then a Kite. Intel is the way Apple should have done it before G5 but Oh well. Intel has some holographic storage coming that will remove not only a hard drive but memory. Plus their 1 Intel just Blows away any 1 G5 hence apple using 2 with spin to keep up. Intel/Apple will be a match made in heaven. No more PPC B.S.
I was harping on the beauty of processor independence before IBM was in the picture, harping on another forum.
And many of those guys came back later and said, look at all the bad things that would have happened to Apple if they had LISTENED TO YOU and gone with Intel instead of IBM -- LAST HA, HAA, HAHAHA !!!
Is the holo-storage made from plastic, excuse me polymers ???
