Apple to Use AMD Fusion CPUs for New Apple TV?

[tolham]

[citation][nom]Pei-chen[/nom]How would AMD/ATI/Anti-Apple fanboys take this news? Hard to criticize Apple if it running AMD hardware I suppose.[/citation]
i think most non-Apple fans take issue with Apple's marketing and pricing more than anything, with the software being the next issue. the only hardware complaint i've ever really heard any noise about is the faulty antenna on the iphone 4 and that's a design flaw.

may the Sun shine upon your path AMDlol, it was about time. the aquisition of Ati is now being paid after a long and hard battle with monopoly king Intel.

AMD will slowly be implemented into the Apple lineup. Things like video cards are easy to put in. Putting in Apple TV is the next step because it does not use Mac OSX which does not support AMD processors at this time. Apple's next task is to get Mac OSX to work with AMD processors.

AMD FTW !

I hope Apple get rid of Intel CPUs and use AMD Fusion on their Computers !

Personally if I was getting something like Apple TV, I would naturally go for a mac mini instead. Mac OS X already comes with built-in media player (command + esc).

Also Mac OS X already works for AMD cpus. Its not optimised but it still works. Eg Hackintosh

Next they (apple) probably will be using the gorilla glass from corning.

congratz amd now take that money and develop a CPU that topples the core i7's from the top of the processor pile and you'll be laughing.
