Do you think that Apple will abandon Intel on their laptops and use their own processors? |
|
I doubt it, because it probably cost more for them to make their own processors, and also they would have to get rid of bootcamp if they switched to their own processor, because it would be like with PowerPC. No Windows. |
|
If they do switch, than the Mac computers will be very slow, since the A processors are made for mobile devices. |
|
I can't see them switching processors for a third time. The Mac line was originally based on a Motorola 68000 line. When they switched to RISC PowerPC chips (also from Motorola), they implemented an emulation within the OS so older programs would run. Switching from the PowerPC to the Intel line allowed them to run Windows natively using Boot Camp. There isn't a valid reason for them to change again. |

i don't know, there hasn't been an "A" processor over 1.0 gz. Maby since those are only for tablets and they don't need much. It is possible, because knowing apple, they like using using their own.

The 'A' processors are meant for mobile applications, just like the ARM processors, so I don't think they will any time soon. |
|
Maybe way off into the future but definitely not anytime soon. Besides the A series was made for mobile devices they'd have to almost completely rebuild... Processor series X anyone? |
|
I think in they will try to make a bigger version of the A series for their Mac's they won't even tell us when they try it in the labs. |
