Quote of S.Jobs:
“We have a great partnership with Intel,” Jobs said. “We expect that to continue forever.”»

Looks like they just want to custom design some iPhon/iPod chips.
cheers

I dont think so, Apple was quite upset with the G5 situation, e.g. here:
http://www.macobserver.com/article/2004/09/01.4.shtml
Intel now even has Atom, i.e. they are expanding their portfolio. Why should Apple try to reinvent the wheel, and do an own, custom design CPU... cost cutting ?
No, there is nothing more expensive then designing, testing and manufacturing a state of the art CPU ..
It can pay of either through the high price, e.g. server market or, through high volume, i.e. mass production, e.g. the eeePC.
However Apple is not in any of those market segments and I doubt that they are trying to enter one.
cheers

Atom is no competition for the dedicated low power procs. These application need a proc, a baseband, wlan and the rest in the powerbudget Atom needs without all this circuits.
I´ve learned in the past by observing Apple, that they have a long planing horizon. And at the moment they wouldn´t tell of their future plans, because of their prefered status at Intel (like the smaller packaging for the Mac Book Air).
BTW: I don´t think chip design is inherently expensive. Just the way, we design procs now is expensive. We take old architectures like Power or x86 and try to press this architecures further and further with extreme methods. Steping back and work on different concepts may bring the the costs for chip design into an resonable range. And Apple has the advantage to control the operating system of their environment, thus they can specifically design the CPU for the OS and the OS for the CPU.

I called it fangorn (sindarin for Treebeard) because it´s th e oldest active machine in my home office.

Writing this comment on a Sun Ultra6 with 2x450MHz und 2 GB RAM. It is a fine hardware.
