Hatte Apple Llano basierende MacBook Airs geplant?

Laut eines Artikels von SemiAccurate hatte Apple neben den veröffentlichten MacBooks Airs mit Intel Prozessoren auch noch MacBooks mit den Llano Prozessoren von AMD geplant gehabt. Apple musste allerdings wieder auf die Intel Prozessoren zurückgreifen, da AMD nicht in der Lage war, genügend Chips zu liefern.

If you are wondering why the Air wasn’t really revamped much this last time, it is because you are looking at plan B. Plan A was basically a low power Llano in an Air shell, and that would have been a really tasty machine. Instead of awful graphics with questionable drivers, you would get many times the GPU power but lose a bit of CPU power. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t make that tradeoff. (Note: Anyone not employed by Intel that is….)
