Title: Apple Unveils New Macs Using Intel Chips Post by: big-daddy on January 10, 2006, 05:15:36 PM SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple Computer Inc.'s historic shift to Intel Corp. microprocessors came months earlier than expected as CEO Steve Jobs on Tuesday debuted personal computers based on new two-brained chips from the world's largest semiconductor company.
The first Macs to deploy Intel's Core Duo processors will be the latest iMac desktop, whose circuitry is all built into the display, and the MacBook Pro laptop. When it announced the massive switch in June, Apple said it expected to begin making the transition by mid-2006. On Tuesday, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs was joined at the Macworld Expo by Intel CEO Paul Otellini to unveil the new jointly designed computers. ;D |
