Hopefully you all have read the coverage (if not check the front page :)...). Taiwan has been wonderful this time around and we've all had a lot of fun here.
Kris and Wes arrived yesterday and they will be staying through tomorrow to finish up the rest of the show.
I haven't forgotten about the Xbox/PS3 piece, but I've had no time to work on it due to meetings here in Taiwan. Before Monday morning I had already met with around 15 manufacturers, so I didn't get much time on the weekend either. But regardless, with a 10 hour flight ahead of me and a few days before Apple's WWDC, I should have plenty of time to finish up the article.
I've never been to a WWDC, so I'm looking forward to it.

I agree with OTABEL, at least gives us another update on what's going on, by now it seems like you REALLY forgot about the article.Anyways, I'm hoping for a good article, I'm willing to wait but not that much.

So, what the crap happened with the X360 and PS3 article, wow, talk about missing a deadline--Was it a deadline anyways?I still remember when you said you'd have it one day after announcing you were working on that, but I think about 2-3 weeks have passed and there's still not new info on it, what's up with that, are you REALLY THAT busy?
Thanks, I'm just hoping you hurry up :D

Personally I'd love to see Apple use AMD. It would be a big smack in the face to Intel. I guess I just like the idea of two underdogs kicking some butt. If Apple used the Operton perhaps we'd finally see some real Apple gaming.Anonymous - Tuesday, June 7, 2005 - link
Ha, let all the PPC fanboys mourn. It'll be okay though. The Apple marketing hype will make the everyday intel processors we're used to sound like a million bucks.Though one might wonder if the discussions with Apple have been going on for some time. Perhaps this helped motivate Intel to adopt 64bit processing at a faster pace.

To #21: One thing will never change, the fanatism of Apple fanboys (zealots rather)! Anyway, it's your opinion,I'm cool with it.Xboxer - Tuesday, June 7, 2005 - link
hey Anand:1) could you comment on the implications of this move for companies like AMD and Microsoft (maybe even Linux)
2) for your X360 vs PS3 article this is some more info. apparently the R520 will be faster than two 6800 ultra in SLI and seeing that the R500 (in X360) is more advanced than R520, you could have an estimate of the GPU performance...don't know much about PS3's GPU though...

Thanks!

#20 is right.Its not that apple is using intel chips, its what apple has being saying about intel chips for the past x number of years.
"RISC is better... Altvec " etc etc
The PPC970FX is an impressive processor that holds up very well to the likes of P4 and Athlon64.
This decision was based on cutting costs, pure and simple. And here the is catch... i doubt those savings will be passed on to the end user.
This about face 360 lie is going to come back to bit apple.

Anand,I'm hearing reports that the Pentium 4 demo boxes at WWDC are running fairly stock G5 motherboards (except for slightly modified U3H memory controllers). Apparently they still even use HyperTransport to link the CPU to the chipset. Is this even possible? If so, you absolutely HAVE to try to land one of these dev kits and get Apple to let you talk about this Intel/Apple hybrid architecture.

So, will we be reading a review of OS X on Intel in a few weeks?
