Apple moves at top speed with switch to Intel's chips
View ar The Seattle Times
In a bit of showmanship reminiscent of headier days, two of technology's top titans met on stage Tuesday at the Macworld Conference & Expo to mark a significant transition.
Intel Chief Executive Paul Otellini, clad in a white clean-room suit, emerged in a haze of fog to hand Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs a symbolic silicon wafer.
With that, Jobs said new Intel-based Apple computers were ready for the market 'a little ahead of schedule.'
For the first time, Macintosh computers will run on Intel microprocessors, which long have powered Windows-based personal computers.
Otellini pulled off the 'bunny suit' helmet and said, 'I want to report that Intel's ready.'
