The rivalry between Apple and Intel seems to vanish. In the near future, the “fruit company” will be one of the numerous supporters of Intel’s “Menlow” Mobile Internet Device (MID) platform. Apple will use for many products on 2008 the 45nm Silverthorne chips. These mini-chips are as fast as the second generation of Pentium M processors, but they “need” between half-a-watt and two watts of electric power. Apple will use Silverthorne for cellphones, ultra mobile PC’s and other MIDs. The chips will be available for about $100 when Apple will start shipping them in early 2008.
