News from Apple Insider
In 2006 Apple wants to release an Intel version of its iMac, Powerbook, iBook, and Mac mini. In order to get these products out by the Q3 of 2006 Mac has given Intel the job of designing the motherboards as well as the chips.
"'The risk with this strategy is that it could make the Power Mac more 'open' than other systems as Intel's specs could be published for others to follow,' said one Wall Street analyst who provides coverage on Apple, but asked not to be identified. 'It'll be interesting how Apple retains its proprietary architecture -- which I assume will be more than software.'" ("Sources: Intel Developing Next-Generation Power-Mac for Apple," Apple Insider).
The cost savings as well as the time savings of this move are great. I hope that the pricing for these models is reduced to reflect these benefits.
