At his keynote address today at WWDC2005, Steve Jobs announced that Apple is indeed making a switch to Intel processors. What this change means to the current Mac community and the development of the Mac platform remains to be seen, but Apple will have some tough times ahead switching to a new architecture. Here's a summary from MacNN:
Two major transitions for Mac: 68K to PowerPC. Next Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X. Now time for third transition. Transition to Intel-based Macs. Developers Now. Next year for users. 'Because we want to make the best computers for our customers.' No G5 PowerBook yet. Future products can't be build on IBM of PowerPC. Intel has performance and better performance per watt. Intel delivers much better performance per watt. Starting next year the first Macs with Intel processors. Shipping by next WWDC. Mostly complete by 2007 WWDC. Complete by the end of 2007. Two-year transition. [10:28 am] Blank
