Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger says the ball is in the chip giant’s court to win back lost business from the Mac making Apple.
“My job is to win them [Apple] back and to deliver products that are better than they can do themselves. We also want to win them over to more of our foundry offerings over time. And that just makes sense, right? Everybody wants to have multiple suppliers. And if we have the best process technology in the industry, of course, they’ll come our way,” Gelsinger said at Yahoo Finance’s All Markets Summit.
Not sure how to react to this statement. Is Gelsinger unaware of the brutally dumb anti-Apple campaign in high gear? Here’s a link to this high profile page on your web site, Pat.
Don’t miss that Apple-bashing video right towards the top. Way to win friends, there. Yeesh.
The first half of this video is unboxing of the 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pros. Note the different wallpaper colors for each, red for 14″, blue for 16″. Also, right about 3:49, check out the relative size of the two machines. Coming from the M1 MacBook Air, Justine makes me consider a 14″ MacBook Pro as the sweet spot.
About 6:39, Justine brings on a friend with some crispy 8K footage to play with. Jump to 9:50 and just start watching. This machine can do a lot more than the Intel MacBook Pro it replaced. And what’s amazing is that all this high-end 8K editing is being done on the cheapest model you can buy. The low end 14″ MacBook Pro. Keep that in mind. Wow.

Back in mid-2018, there wasn’t a single Macintosh computer that was free of major drawbacks or otherwise ridiculously out of date. After yet another disappointing WWDC, I took to my keyboard to air some grievances, with a lengthy complaint entitled “On The Sad State of Macintosh Hardware“. That post was written out of a deeper frustration with Apple’s failure to keep the Mac product line current.
Apple in 2018 was at the height of their quest to remove every port, selling a MacBook that offered a pitiful single USB-C port (which was also needed for charging). Other laptops were besmirched by TouchBars and faulty butterfly keyboards. Apple is not a company to change its mind lightly, but nevertheless they’ve corrected every single one of these missteps.
Well said. There’s the return of the SD port, the return of the MagSafe connector, that gorgeous new Liquid Retina XDR display, and the scary fast M1 Pro and M1 Max with the unified memory and embedded GPU. The new Mac line is a whole new ball game.
The iPod was one of the first times Apple showed up and did what we now think of as their standard move — they made The Apple Version®.
Great point. There were lots of other MP3 players out there. Apple took the concept, modernized and improved on the traditional components, then ran it through the Jony Ive design process. They Apple-ized it.
Now, there are a lot of mysteries in the Panic Archives (it’s a closet) but by far one of the most mysterious is what you’re seeing for the first time today: an original early iPod prototype.
We don’t know much about where it came from. But we’ve been waiting 20 years to share it with you.
Fantastic set of images. In that first pic, the tiny screen in the upper right corner of the giant box is the screen of the iPod prototype.
The prototype itself is shown in the third image. It has a date of September 3rd, 2001. That’s about 6 weeks before Steve’s iPod town hall keynote, and 8 days before 9/11.
