Apple is doing great and the transition to Intel processors has been complete for several years.
It starts with the 4004 chipset (4 bit) and 8008 microprocessor (8 bit). The successor of the 4004 was the 4040, but this architecture was a dead end. The successors of the 8008 were the 8080, 8085, 8086, 8088, 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486, Pentium, etc. including the current multicore microprocessors. IBM chose to base their PC on the 8086 and 8088, then as successive newer microprocessors were developed new versions of the IBM PC used those microprocessors. Intel also produced many specialized microprocessors and microcontrollers including some RISC microprocessors (e.g. i860, i960). Current Apple Macintosh computers also use the latest Intel multicore microprocessors.
Steve Wozinak, invented the Apple, and Steve Jobs, the current CEO of Apple, Inc., had the idea of selling it
Apple's biggest successes include the launch of the iPhone, which revolutionized the smartphone industry, and the App Store, which created a thriving ecosystem for developers and consumers. Additionally, the MacBook and iPad have significantly impacted personal computing and tablet markets. On the failure side, products like the Apple Maps launch in 2012 faced severe criticism for inaccuracies, and the Apple Pippin, a gaming console, was commercially unsuccessful. Overall, Apple's ability to innovate often overshadows its missteps, maintaining its status as a tech leader.
Because Apple uses a closed architecture computer system, you cannot build an Apple system without using parts purchased from reputable Authorized Apple Resellers. Taking apart/building your own Apple system is not covered by Apple's warranty.
All companies put their company logo on their products. The apple is Apple Inc.'s logo. To symbolize the brand name.
Yes, Apple's Intel transition was the process of changing the CPU of Macintosh computers from PowerPC processors to Intel x86 processors.
Arthur Rock is a venture capitalist who was an early investor in Intel and Apple.
No, the MacBook Pro is not a PowerPC. Apple transitioned from PowerPC processors to Intel processors in 2006 and later shifted to its own Apple Silicon (M1 and M2 chips) starting in 2020. The current MacBook Pro models use these Intel or Apple Silicon processors, which are distinct from the older PowerPC architecture.
Yes, Apple does make Intel bases Mac computers starting January 10, 2006.
Intel
An Intel processor Apple Computer.
In '05, Apple CEO announced that Apple would be transitioning from its long favored PowerPC architecture to the Intel architecture, because the future PowerPC road map was unable to satisfy Apple's needs. Apple had its entire line of consumer Macs running on Intel processors by early August 2006. The Apple Xserve server was updated to Intel Xeon processors from November 2006, and is offered in a configuration similar to Apple's Mac Pro. They're partners with both.
Maybe.
Apple uses a range of processors depending upon their needs these include Intel Core 2 Duo, quad-core Intel Core i5, quad-core Intel Core i7, Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3500,, Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5500 "Nehalem" processors.
When Apple switched to the Intel Processor.
An Apple Macintosh computer with an Intel processor will run any Windows from XP to 7. The majority of Macintosh users prefer not to run Windows at all and manage fine without it.
The single biggest difference is the chipset. Apple uses a Motorola chipset, Dell uses Intel (or Intel based) chipset.
