For our daily classic commercials post, we bring you this Apple Intel transition advert, which has a surprise ending. Video after the jump.
The Apple Intel transition was the process of changing the CPU of Macintosh computers from PowerPC processors to Intel x86 processors. The transition began at the 2005 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), when Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs made the historic announcement that the company would transition from the use of PowerPC microprocessors supplied by Freescale (formerly Motorola) and IBM in their Macintosh computers, to processors designed and manufactured by Intel, a chief supplier for most of Apple’s competitors. The new Macs (dubbed “Mactel” or “MacIntel” by fans) run on Intel Core and Xeon x86 processors
