Comdex: AMD & Apple

AMD is supposed to have a keynote tommorrow afternnon. Rumors say that this years Comdex has a strong Apple presence, and Apple is supposed to be on hand for the announcements tommorrow.

AMD Zone states
Quote:
In the Comdex press briefing we were told that Hector Ruiz would make a "shattering" anouncement about a new licensee.

Is this the AMD / Apple relationship that has been rumored for the past few months? Will we be seeing X on x86?

The announcements are supposed to be made tomorrow, Nov 19.

if true, would be cool. I wonder if this would cause a price reduction in macs too.

I doubt it. I really doubt it. Remember, "shattering" coming from a company means "neat".

And IIRC, it's an Intel/Apple rumor. (Although I do like AMD better, and think they would be more likely to go for it.)

no, it isn't. recent reports of welded shut boxes running OS X using AMD processors have been running rampent. AMD needs the business badly, and frankly, apple never ever annouces product at Comdex.
