Apple WWDC 2005 - The Intel Switch Revealed
Apple's Intel transition was the process of changing the CPU of Macintosh computers from PowerPC processors to Intel x86 processors.
Announcement
The transition became public knowledge at the 2005 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC'05) in June 2005, when Apple's then-CEO Steve Jobs made the announcement that the company would make a transition from the use of PowerPC microprocessors supplied by Freescale (formerly Motorola) and IBM in its Macintosh computers, to processors designed and manufactured by Intel, chief supplier for most of Apple's competitors.[1]
