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.

#20 : "man i can't believe this Jobs guy...he's been touting the advantages of PPC over x86 for years now (on Apple's own website, benchmarking etc) and yet now he says that they want to switch cause of higher performance on x86...make up your mind man."If you are having problems with the concept of change over time examine yourself in the mirror.

So the deed is done: Apple switch to Intel by end 2007.Looks like a large part of their lead over Microsoft in the OS stakes is going to be lost to porting, debugging and optimising.

Apple to use Intel CPUs?If they must ditch IBM because of the needs of laptops then AMD is not much use either - it's the mobile chips that are needed.
Shame because Opteron looks good.
A two vendor policy might not be possible if they are after Intel discounts. One thing to note: Intel are not cheap. This move is not going to make them more affordable.

reply to gnumantsc:"Apple plans to move lower-end computers such as the Mac Mini to Intel chips in mid-2006 and higher-end models such as the Power Mac in mid-2007".
If Apple were to switch to x86, why not change all product lines by 2006?
I think it's just a threat against IBM, not to neglect Apple with MS, Nintendo and Sony demanding alot of IBM attention right now.
If they do go with Intel. It's more reasonable to believe that Intel's producing a new processor for Apple, then Apple changing to x86.

Hey Anand,I guess you can finally cover the supposed move of Apple to Intel CPUs I guess that will steal the show if it is true.
Stupid choice for Jobs to ditch a good processor and go with an Intel machine. Those Prescotts and Dual Cores will get so hot it'll melt the Mac Mini casing...
Once the announcement is finalized yell out AMD would've been a better choice! Atleast then they'll get a real Dual Core solution and a CPU with better performance without creating a stove of a PC.

#4 - Yeah... nVidia bias. That's why under "Anand's Picks" the motherboard listed is an ATI RS480-based board. Anand clearly despises ATI, and to show his hatred, he recommends that people go out and buy a motherboard based around an ATI chipset (including the ATI south bridge).Did you forget to take your meds today?
