Hmm...I'm not sure how this makes sense. Unless they want to get into making motherboards with chipsets like Intel does...which doesn't even make much sense. Why reinvent the wheel!?

And now Apple's a bit stuck apparently, they use ATi graphics and Intel processors, but Intel is pulling out it's license to allow ATi chipsets to be made for Intel processors.

I do believe I read that the Intel license pull out was a rumor at best. Nothing substanciated.

In fact the news about Apple and Intel were just blog entries so it might all just be rumors.

LOL..

Theres too many people/sites speculating on corperate directs in this world. People should just let things go and report as they actually happen, instead of trying to figure out paths that haven't started.
