Re: WWDC 2005
No to G5 PB's.. that's not even a possibility. I'd wager yes to the Intel switch. However, there's no chance Apple will use the x86 architecture. Even if Tiger could run quickly on the x86 platform (rumor has it that there's a version out there for it), most third party software would be awfully slow or not even work. It'd be tons of work for developers. However, Apple owns partial rights to the PPC, along with Motorola and IBM, so if anything, Intel will be making PPC chips for Apple. Intel probably wants to get into the PPC arena because they're RISC rather than CISC. Also note how Microsoft is using IBM's PPC in their xbox 2.. I'm sure Intel would love a slice of that pie. So I think it's possible, and will probably happen.
Other than that, I'd imagine a speedbump for the G5 and maybe the Mini.
