That’s an incredible amount in the tech world. Probably why a bunch of Hackintosh builds I’ve been hearing about have been constructed around AMD chips. It makes sense, in the general; Tim Cook would be negligent for not taking _some_ action and if it results in some faster Macs, great. My only concern is that aforementioned Hackintosh. I’m using a hack right now, and not only can I build myself my own machine for half price, it can also emulate Windows with ease because the chip is right there. I’m a little worried that my upgrade path is about to stop and that if I got an actual Mac that my ability to emulate at a native speed will be gone (or even gone entirely). --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/apple-fans-can-resume-bashing-intel-chips/912048)._
