New Apple desktop and server machines announced


Apple has completed the transition to Intel chips on all its computers. Today at Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference Steve Jobs announced the all new dual Xeon-based Mac Pro, the widely anticipated replacement for the old G-5 Powermac. The enclosure is the same, but everything inside is different. Also moved to Intel chips were Apple's xServe computers with a similar Xeon boost.

The power used to gain its performance is less, and the 64-bit dual chips are supposed to give this machine a great deal of zip. Sluggish pro desktop sales might be goosed up a bit if pro users feel that this was the right move for them. The story is covered at Engadget, along with live coverage right now of the WWDC keynote speech by Steve Jobs and other Apple employees.
