Re: OT; Apple in negotiation with AMD ?

 Apple going to AMD? That is a very close possibility that could happen in
 the next 5 years, but i won't like that at all. I liked it when Apple Macs
 still were made with the good ol' PowerPC processor. If you're gonna make
 any negotiations Apple, talk with IBM again and bring back the performance
 and originality of the PowerPC processor! Intel macs are just as good, it's
 just that when I grew up, i got used to this. Intel=Pcs, PowerPC=Macs. I am
 not saying that it's a bad thing, but switching to intel was taking away the
 personality, uniqueness, and originality of a Mac.

Re: OT; Apple in negotiation with AMD ?

2010-04-17 Thread Mark Sokolovsky
Well in the end, everybody moves on, and Apple has left behind a legend of
PowerPc computers, and it has made it's mark on history. I would be glad to
see Apple making both PowerPC and AMD and intel processors, so everyone has
a choice. Other than that, yeah Apple had made quite some history with
all of it's products so far. I have been noticing that they have been
liquidating macs and cutting their prices in huge amounts, so i wouldn't be
surprised if Apple had the same story with both the PowerPC to intel
transition, and the Intel to AMD transition. Imagine... snow leopard made
for intel only like tiger was only made for PowerPC, but then Mac OS X
10.6.9 is released (lets pretend this is February 2011) and it has support
for both AMd and intel. Then Apple stops making intel macs, and releases mac
OS X 10.7, the last version of Mac OS X to support Intel macs. Then they
release mac OS X 10.8, which only supports AMd processors. If this cycle
keeps going on, i wonder what processor they will switch to when they are
done with AMD processors... mac OS X 10.9, then 10.10 or 11.0.. and so on...
I really wouldn't be surprised if this would happen.

Yes, your chart is wrong.

Here's the chart:

10.4 Tiger:Separate PPC  Intel versions
10.5 Leopard:  1 universal PPC  Intel version
10.6 Snow Leopard: Hybrid 3264 bit kernel, Intel only
10.7 ???:  64-bit kernel only

The process is transitioning from PPC-to-Intel, and from 32-bit-to-64- 
bit. Each transition has one hybrid build. The PPC-to-Intel hybrid  
build is Leopard 10.5. The 32-bit-to-64-bit hybrid build is 10.6 Snow  
Leopard. AMD CPUs would be a minor modification with no need for any  
separate or hybrid version. Most Hackintosh PCs already work perfectly  
with AMD CPUs now.

Re: OT; Apple in negotiation with AMD ?

2010-04-17 Thread John Martz
I assume that Apple's preference is to be the one telling its
suppliers what to do, not the other way around. I suspect that's what
this is probably about.

Maybe they'll migrate to AMD, maybe not. At the very least I suspect
it's something like your spouse having lunch with an old flame. Hey,
it was just lunch, nothing more! But the underlying point is clear
enough, no? Don't take me for granted. I've got options.

There really is no competition at this point in time for Intel CPUs in
terms of raw performance. But product design isn't always about
picking the highest performing component. I suppose an argument could
be made for Apple diversifying its product line and offering some
products at a lower price point with AMD CPUs.

Only time will tell ... a common observation when it comes to Apple, no?

Well, the truth as I understand it that you simply can NOT run OS X on
a PC/bios based Intel computer. At least not without modifying
stuff. The further away one gets from a Mac platform in terms of the
components of the PC the more stuff there is which needs to be
modified. To run on a Pentium 4 system you're talking at least about
modifications to the kernel, which IMO is a rather big step away from
a so-called vanilla install.

I believe that a Hackintosh will never be a Mac in that it will always
be more a hobby than tool. It's better suited to folks who like to
play with their computer as much or more than actually use it. I doubt
a Hackintosh will ever be appropriate for any Mac user for whom one of
the things they like most about a Mac is that they never have to think
about it, they can just use it.

If you want your PC to be an appliance, then you definitely do NOT
want a Hackintosh, at least IMHO.

I've always assumed this is a major reason why Apple doesn't go out of
its way to eliminate Hackintoshs created by individuals. It's not
pertinent (enough). The effort to squash it would be more bother than
benefit to the corporate bottom line. At least for now.

I am really not sure where you got some of your ideas here about what OS 
can go on what hardware.  Other than the EFI firmware that controls 
loading of OS similar to BOIS on a PC, there is no difference in the 
Intel Mac and a PC hardware-wise.  There are a number of people putting 
OS-X on PC Hardware.  They are on a google groups list called 
Hackintosh.  I am not sure how you can say only the PPC and Intel Macs 
will Look and feel like a real Mac should if you have never seen how 
the Hackintoshes work.  Any OS can be installed to any hardware so long 
as the proper porting to that system has been done.  I would hope that 
one day people will understand that they see little of the hardware, if 
any, unless it is not working well.  What you call the look and feel of 
a real Mac is all just software.  If Apple sealed their computer cases 
and no one told you what was inside, you wouldn't know if it was PPC, 
Intel, AMD, Sparc, Alpha, or a freaking diesel locomotive.  Peace,

I wish to see an AMD transaction... I guess AMD will over focus it because
of getting lack of power on compition with Intel. I guess AMD will supply
new flagship processors for Apple only for limited time and two companies
come together. And Apple will may use it with getting bargain prices from
Intel

Personally, I think Apple might go in the ARM direction… maybe. I'd
love to see a PPC revival, but using AMD (with their powerhouse ATI
division) isn't exactly a bad thing either. My desktop, an old PIII
(my iPad is understandably my primary computer, with my parent's HP
Pavilion and my college's iMacs supporting it) is in some major need
of an upgrade, and I'm definitely looking at AMD stuff (for running
Ubuntu, not Win7 ;-).
  That said, AMD has some great reliability (our old 1999 Presario has
a AMD K6 which works better than the PIII), and I think the cool names
that AMD gives their CPUs might be more Apple-esque than Core 2 Duo
or i7. All-in-all, exciting times for Apple and the Mac-verse in
general

 10.6 Snow Leopard: Hybrid 3264 bit kernel, Intel only
 10.7 ???:          64-bit kernel only

 The process is transitioning from PPC-to-Intel, and from 32-bit-to-64-
 bit. Each transition has one hybrid build. The PPC-to-Intel hybrid  
 build is Leopard 10.5. The 32-bit-to-64-bit hybrid build is 10.6 Snow  
 Leopard. AMD CPUs would be a minor modification with no need for any  
 separate or hybrid version. Most Hackintosh PCs already work perfectly  
 with AMD CPUs now.

Some here will not like this. Some will dismiss it. Just as Intel rumors

Oh i would love Apple to go to AMD. Really it isn't a very big switch  
though.
