Only a week after Apple’s announcement that they are moving from IBM PowerPC to Intel processors, a developer kit version has already found it’s way onto P2P networks on the internet.
Apple did say in their announcement that they have been working on a dual codeline for OS X (PowerPC and Intel) for some time, but I think this (illegal?) copy of x86 OS X was probably released a little earlier than they planned for.
PC running hot? Now this is a solution you need.
Since Apple announced that they will no longer be building new Macs based on IBM’s PowerPC chip, IBM have responded and are confident that the PowerPC’s future is still strong.
IBM do not seem concerned to lose Apple as one of their major users, and seem less interested with the personal computer market place, especially since they already sold off their own PC manufacturing business earlier this year to China based Lenovo. Instead, IBM sees the growth markets to be servers, mobile devices and game consoles.
Early next year we should see the release of Sony’s Playstation 3 which will be based on a multiple core PowerPC derivitive, the Cell, co-developed by IBM, Sony and Toshiba.
