AMD and Apple Rumors Part II

MacBidouille has posted another AMD/Apple rumor. English Translation:


    I have just received some rumors you will like.
    Of course they're from an anonymous yet reliable source:


    - Apple will start using 64 bit CPU during the following months

    - The processor will probably be made by AMD rather than by IBM, the former having a much higher production capacity.

    It should be noted that AMD's 64 bit proc for PCs is almost ready.

    The processor has the advantage of being compatible with 32 bit busses.


    So an x86 proc in a Mac or a PPC by AMD?
