Apple Makes the Switch

The grapevine was right this time: Apple will indeed be migrat­ing to Intel chips after all. Steve Jobs made the announce­ment today at the WWDC in San Fran­cisco, CA.

What’s this mean for con­sumers? Bet­ter avail­abil­ity of Apple products.

Apple has strug­gled with keep­ing up with demand for sev­eral years due to low sup­plies of the G4 and G5 Pow­erPC chips that power their com­put­ers. Because of the darth of sup­plies, Apple has had to delay prod­uct launches repeat­edly, and as failed to close the “Giga­hertz Gap” between its com­put­ers and those of the PC world.

In a sur­pris­ing move, Jobs announced that Apple has had Mac OS X run­ning on x86-based Intel chips for the past 5 years.

I’m excited about this move, because it’s going to lead to greater avail­abil­ity of proces­sors for Apple, and… I’m spec­u­lat­ing here… maybe it will open up OS X to custom-built com­put­ers. Who knows…

Jobs said this tran­si­tion won’t be com­pleted until 2007. Until then, I’ll be anx­iously await­ing this lat­est evo­lu­tion of Apple and its offerings.
