The rumor I am hearing this morning from Comdex is that Apple and AMD are going to make some sort of announcement at this morning’s keynote address. I guess you could speculate somewhat as to the nature of the announcement, but with the obvious processor differential between the current line of PowerPC based Apple hardware and stadard Wintel PC’s, I can only think that this means Apple will be releasing machines based on AMD’s Hammer processor line. I’m surprised, based on how I heard about this, that I haven’t seen any coverage in the Mac OS community yet. Perhaps it is because Comdex is not normally an Apple event. Update: AMDZone has reported that there is a large Apple presence at the event. This is the first other report about this topic I have been able to find.
