Ahead of the Curve: An Apple for the enterprise?

21.09.2006

"Apple picked Intel when it should have gone with AMD."

So far. AMD's road map will take the company places that Intel can't go. Sooner rather than later, Apple may find its margins and its ability to compete restricted by its CPU supplier, just as occurred before with IBM and Motorola. If necessity dictates it, Steve Jobs will take the stage at Macworld to welcome AMD as a supplier and intimate that Apple had planned that move all along. Today, Macs may or may not appeal to you as enterprise machines. But don't underestimate the company's drive to compete.
