The hidden currents powering Intel's next gen chips

AT NEXT WEEK'S Intel developer forum, the firm is due to announce a next generation x86 processor core. The current speculation is this new core is going too be based on one of the existing Pentium M cores. I think it’s going to be something completely different.

Isn't it interesting. Now we (Mac users) have another market to watch. Now everything Intel is everything Mac. The speculation is a new 64 bit Intel chip based on the M core. Did Apple know something when they announced the switch to Intel that we don't know yet. Probably.

One of the major concerns that came out of that Apple-Intel announcement was "What about the 64 bit OS X?" I guess it is just a matter of time. 64 bit OS X might not be dead in the water after all.
