Apple puts Intel inside the new Mac Pro computer
Apple Computer Inc. on Monday introduced the last of its computer models to be converted to Intel chips and said it would launch the next version of its operating system in spring 2007, but some investors expecting a new iPod were disappointed. Great news for Intel as they will be moving more chips now thanks to Apple moving over to Intel processors.
Apple announced the new line of high-end desktop computers called the Mac Pro that will use Intel Corp.’s Xeon chipset and run twice as fast as the version it replaces. The Mac Pro line replaces the Power Mac series and will use dual Xeon chips in each computer. Apple said a computer in the new line with a suggested configuration would retail for about $2,500. The new machines were shipping on Monday.
