This image was forwarded to me by a reliable source in Apple. It seems that in addition to compiling Mac OS X for x86, Apple has a backup plan for the Intel backup plan: AMD.
See, geeks all along have been arguing that Apple should have gone to AMD instead of to Intel. AMD offers higher performance, you seee. But, of course, we know the main reason for the switch to the x86 architecture is that IBM can’t produce a portable version of the G5. AMD doesn’t have much in the way of lower power, high performance chips yet, either.
But Apple’s ready anyway.
Here we have an actual photograph of a prototype Opteron-based PowerBook. Get it quick before Apple legal forces me to take it down! Remember, this is a prototype only — the final version will have a color screen. The black and white screen is actually touch sensitive.
