Apple dumps Intel from laptop lines (Not Confirmed, Rumor)

[Fats]

I was reading about last week. It's a fairly obvious and very old idea, but I guess it just required fabrication technology that they didn't have until recently.

And they did not have it before because it was not really needed up to now. The transistors are now becoming too small so they have be wrapped around the silicon to be able to turn off the device. Up to 32nm this was not really needed. Of course, that's not how marketing people will tell the story.

Apple always plays 3 to 5 years out, it's why they are still here and Amiga is coming back as a boring Chinese Windows box.

That and Microsoft floating them enough cash to stay out of bankruptcy.

Ancient history, a Jobless Apple wandering without a vision need cash back more than a decade ago.  It was pocket change even then, enough to pay a few current debts.  That is so far from today's Apple that it seems like a fairy tale.
