Takuro Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Many people have been reluctant to make the transition to Intel simply because some of their most frequently used applications, such as Photoshop, aren't available as universal binaries yet. Most people feel Photoshop is crippled by the fact that it has to run through Rosetta, ruining the performance that the program has been praised for. Up to this point, Adobe appeared to have no clear roadmap set for porting their applications from CodeWarrior to uni-bin X Code apps. But now for the big news: Sources have disclosed that Adobe is pushing forward to release Creative Suite 3 by the end of 2006. There's a strong possibility that it will make use of Apple's 10.5 operating system, Leopard, which is rumored for an August appearance at Apple's "mysteriously delayed" keynote. This would make fall 2006 into early 2007 an opportune time for Adobe to release the suite. This might also make sense time-wise by the fact that the "Mac Pro," the system rumored to replace the current Power Mac line, will also be released in August. With a new high-end Intel processor (which it seems WON'T simply be yet another Core Duo), this will be the ideal powerhouse that professionals demand. With CS3 installed on such a system, Apple will have fully satisfied the power-hungry professional users, and the Intel transition will be complete.

MacSpaces Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 basically buying a 2000+ pro line up notebook is senseless.... leave it to apple to slowly stick their middle fingers up their fans without vaseline.... apple amazes me seriously ppc is way better then intel-now intel is 2-5x faster lol hahhaa did microsoft buy apple? looks like their following the steps of who they want to be when they grow up... the sad thing about it all is that i still like apple ohhh the irony.

xiberia Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 "Today, Intel took the wraps off several new "Core"-based processors, including Merom (mobile), Conroe (desktop), and Woodcrest (server). Conroe, which is said "to offer 40% more performance at 40% less power than the Pentium D 950," is expected in the second-half of 2006. And, conveniently, Apple today announced that WWDC 2006 will take place in August...making it a perfect launching ground for a Conroe-based PowerMac (Mac Pro?)." http://www.tuaw.com/2006/03/07/what-a-conv...onroe-and-wwdc/ ----- Makes perfect sense. Pro users don't want iMacs and Minis, they want big-box computers. And since big-box computers don't need the tiny dual-core's (like laptops need), then Apple can cram the biggest/fastest processor they can into them. And since Photoshop CS3 etc will probably be even more memory/processor hungry than they are now, it makes sense for Adobe to hold out for these monster Macs. Don't forget, that Adobe have Apple people "camped out on campus", so they know exactly what Apple are planning in the next year. Me - I'm holding out for those monster Macs too. iMacs and miniMacs do nothing for me.

MacApprentice Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I hope 10.5 will be cracked too, fingers crossed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11427-adobe-creative-suite-3-universal/#findComment-72202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 apple amazes me seriously ppc is way better then intel-now intel is 2-5x faster It's because Intel finally figured it out. Essentially, Intel hit a speed wall, much like IBM did with the G5. They figured out chips needed to do more at lower clock speeds, which is what RISC chips (like the PPC chips) have been doing for years. In other words, the megahertz myth still exists, but Intel finally said "Hey, there's something to this myth..."
