Poco Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Along with Intel's impressive demo of the Light Peak optical device interconnect it seems as though Intel has unveiled some previously unknown part of their company. The guys over at Engadget noticed that the rig Intel was using for the demo was running MAC OS X. Check out the video at Engadget and see for yourself! Updated: Well it looks like there is more to this than originally posted. It seems as though Apple came to Intel with the concept for them to develop.

cparm Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 no i think that it is an apple developer platform the good news is that this technology is ready for mac os x Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188743-intel-with-a-hackintosh/#findComment-1280405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chief Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 no i think that it is an apple developer platform the good news is that this technology is ready for mac os x This is Snow Leopard, and note that big fat orange drive icon!

Superhai Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Ok the developer of the CPUs and m/b's in Apples computers running a developers demo on OS X. Then so what? Are the Apple testbeds hackintoshes before they are formally released?

cparm Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 This is Snow Leopard, and note that big fat orange drive icon! yeah i saw it , it's really suspicious, but remember that this technology is not internal, so if you set the finder preferences to only show external drives, you will have the same result Are the Apple testbeds hackintoshes before they are formally released? hum maybe, but i don't think so, not before that apple will have at least 20-30% of market share, with the extraordinary growth of apple since 2006, maybe in 2 or 3 years they will reach this goal, it's will be hard but possible especially if windows seven is not a commercial succes, but be in frontal concurrency with microsoft is to dangerous for now Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188743-intel-with-a-hackintosh/#findComment-1280707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chief Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Apple must be the first company to use this new technology.... why else would they write software for it?

racketprophet Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Does this mean that Apple are using INTEL MOTHERBOARDS?hehehe Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188743-intel-with-a-hackintosh/#findComment-1280805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
asstastic Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Does this mean that Apple are using INTEL MOTHERBOARDS?hehehe Yes. The first hackintoshes used a retail Intel motherboard that was almost identical to the first Intel Apple desktops. Once OSX was hacked far enough installation became possible on a wider variety of systems. I expect all Apple desktops start out on Intel retail or developer hardware and then Apple makes a few changes to the design and sends it off to their manufacturers. Apple doesn't have the resources to build a complete hardware system from the ground up.

Poco Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Updated: Well it looks like there is more to this story than originally revealed. It seems like Apple actually asked Intel to develop the technology.

pauℓzurrr. Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I dont think that's a hackintosh, it's a Mac Pro taken apart with some modifications...

Master Chief Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I dont think that's a hackintosh, it's a Mac Pro taken apart with some modifications... What we see here is a lab setup of a future Apple product, which I presume will be introduced by Apple with a near future Mac Pro upgrade.

HARLEY VAN KIRK Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 What would be GREAT is if Apple went back to the POWER PC format and left everyone in the dust again he he. IBM's offerings for processors make Intels look like a toy! I wished Apple would go back... and let you hackers play with your PC's.

tysonv48 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The PowerPC CPU was made by motorolla (i think) and Intel is made by intel so they are capable for difernt things i don't see why they can't use both like PC's use AMD and Intel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188743-intel-with-a-hackintosh/#findComment-1398754 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnny_j22 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Definatly encouraging. I think it's a given that at some point apple will have to hand over hardware development anyway. and this will only be good for their software and users - let hard ware manufacturers compete to drive progress and software manufacturers do the same. The video gaming companies prove time and time again fighting to maintain different hardware as well as platforms is always going to generate a looser - sega gave up on hardware, nintendo was kiked hard by sony through the n64 era and sony took an absolute pasting getting the ps3 up and running. Ah imagine a world where you just pop down pc world and choose the pc you really like then dicide which you want - windows, mac, linux distro....
