MacBook Air with a processor from AMD

At the turn guide Apple has decided to processors from IBM and Motorola, known as the PowerPC support. A different architecture and privileges protected Mac for a long time, to continue in the future. While Intel has again and again to new heights, winning the confidence of consumers faster and more energy efficient chips. It is certainly possible to expect a "miracle" occurred only in 2005 when Steve Jobs Macworld Conference reports podium after using a PowerPC Mac, and a complete transition to solutions from Intel. It's hard to believe, but the exclusivity of its processors in the Mac has been questioned earlier this year.

MacBook Air last generation is rapidly gaining the hearts of the users and has successfully created a new audience earlier Apple Computer tightened. Significant role in this is a performance notebook. But few know that the current model of Air is the result of a "Plan B" for themselves kupertinovtsev. "Plan A" refers to the use of AMD processors on a chip with low power consumption Llano. Execution of such a decision would be somewhat lower than Sandy Bridge from Intel. But would the graphics chip from AMD has a significant lead in an integrated solution, now used by Air Intel HD3000.

Why Apple has refused to address the main shortcomings in the current Air MacBook Pro and also the entrance? It is about problems with the production of AMD in the final stages of creating a new "air" notebook facing. For this reason, Apple has set his mind and cooperate with Intel while continuing the run-in Thunderbolt promising technology. The result of this decision was the introduction of the MacBook Air in 2011 with advanced processors Core i5 and Core i7. Nevertheless, the idea of ​​using AMD solutions are still considered within the walls of kupertinovskogo campus. But when it comes to life - probably nobody knows.
