Intel: '[Apple] Looks at Our Technology in a Very Apple Way'

by , 2:45 PM EST, March 24th, 2006

Deborah Conrad, vice-president and director of Intel's internal Apple team, said Thursday that Apple has changed the way her company looks at its industry, commenting: "That's really what's interesting about Apple, is they look at our technology in a very Apple way." She made the statement to CNET editors and reporters who had gathered at Intel's Santa Clara headquarters on Thursday.

When asked about Intel chips appearing inside an iPod, Ms. Conrad replied: "I don't think you're going to see anything soon." And when someone brought up the recent success installing Windows XP on an Intel Mac, she commented: "I thought it was pretty funny. I actually thought it took a lot longer than people expected."

Thanks to Macworld UK for the heads-up.

i can hear their sigh as they get to work on supporting just one standard architecture vs. scads of competing chipsets, video and the like. They've been in that stew for ages and prolly didn't see a way to work around it anytime soon. So everybody gets a high five because, well, a launch worked well. From there they reason on about integrating small subsets of stable technologies more often.. Good or bad? Don't know. Posting from a macmini intel that i'm very fond of.
