Sounds to me like pure wishing and pie-in-the-sky speculation on Ruiz's part.

If wishes were horses, etc.

Not going to happen Hector.

that would be of great appeal to non mac users, the introduction of amd chips would open up a whole new buisness opportunity to apple. I am doubtful of whether it will happen or not but it will be an interesting story to follow. It also makes me wonder on how intel would react to apple introducing those chips.

Sometimes though all these changes so quickly make me wonder if i shoulda waited to get my imac. I was fortunate enough to wait (because of all these rumors about new imacs coming out) to get the dropped price and new chips. I just hope we get lots of updates on the matter

Of course he wants AMD processors in Apple machines. But he obviously isn't close to anything regarding this deal. If he was, he would be Steve-silent as a chopped down log. He's angry because intel beat AMD to it, and showed off a great roadmap of processors that fit Apple's roadmap like a glove. In fact, now that I think of it... perhaps the future lineup from intel is co-planned by the two CEO's of intel and Apple from the start. Now this AMD guy just wants to make some fuzz.

I think it'll happen in a couple of years. Apple won't vigorously deny it because the only way to keep Intel honest is to let them know that other good options exist. Intel knows, from what happened to IBM, that Apple can move in a different direction with nary a hint of their plans.

The headline is misleading. There's a big difference between "Apple to use AMD chips" and "Apple should use AMD chips."

That was a silly thing for him to do unless he didn't really care if Apple wanted to deal with them and he was interested in getting some press.

The headline is incredibly misleading. He's essentially saying he can imagine apple knocking on their door evebtually, not that they have.

But the thing is apple probably can never use AMD chips because they offer to few cmputer models, it'd be too confusing to consumers. They only offer 5 computer models, 1 or 2 with AMD chips just wouldn't make any sense.
