Intel released with the Mac today?

[NoStateofMind]

I just saw a commercial about 'Intel being unleashed with a Mac today". Anyone know what the scoop is?

All I know is that Apple fans are buying grave plots, digging them out, laying down in them, and begin turning and turning. The "mac" has been turned into a regular old PC. Should now be known as "Macintel".

They're using Intel x86 CoreDuo chips.

It's a mactel.

new imacs with the intel x86 coreduo chips as vanvock stated.

they are also releasing the new powerbook aka macbook in feb with the intel coreduo chip as well (this thing should be sweet).

at least they did not stay with IBM and get the CELL as a cpu this year.

I thought the CELL processor was like the best thing to happen to CPU's since the x86 architecture. Hell I don't even know what I am saying lol

It only has one real cpu in it and the rest can only do really simple math it would he hard as hell to program with(harder then dual core).

I personally don't see the big deal about it. Windows on a Mac...which is based on an intel chip. We've been been running window son intel chips since the dawn of Microsoft. Big deal...bigger news would be Apple releasing a distro of OSX that pc users could just buy off the shelf and install on their existing box.
