> Will Apple return to PPC processors? A year or so ago, Apple purchased a fab-less designer and manufacturer of multi-core PPC processors. It is conceivable that Apple may use PPC processors in some future products, but the investment in Intel-based products for the desktop and laptop has been high, and has been largely successful. Snow Leopard will NOT be a universal system: it will be Intel only; so a return to PPC is not bloody likely for MacOS, ever. However another product which is based upon PPC, or another processor which can make effective use of the power-saving technology which was acquired in that Apple purchase of a PPC company seems likely. Perhaps a set-top box or a hand-held box? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
