Apple and Intel?

[Strongbow]

I know why Apple moved chips but why Intel? ...surely AMD would have been more appropriate (faster, cheaper, less heat, less power consumption!).

Any ideas?

Hi and welcome.

Yes, I agree.

Most of the times those big industry deals don't follow what's best, but who pays better... :roll:

More likely Steve Jobs and Hector Ruiz probably when golfing and one pissed the other one off....

I've noticed that many business decisions are made based on some personal basis....

I heard something like they could have gone amd, but AMD wouldn't have been able to produce enough chips to supply them. Its the same with AMD/dell. But still i thought people bought Apple pcs to escape from intel, and Apple's newest chips are faster than intel's, so why they went to intel is a mystery to me.

Hi

I´m sure an Apple PC would cost more than an AMD. They have never been cheap but the quality have always ben good.
