  • Intel Pentium 4... yeah!

  • IMO, Apple switching to Intel was probably one of the smartest moves Apple has ever made. The PowerPC was great for it's time, but Intel world was catching up and even blowing by PowerPC because IBM could not figure out a way to improve the G5. Think of all the great features that have emerged into OSX with Intel CPU's. If they would have stayed with PowerPC, lots of technology would not have been developed due to the PowerPC's lack of an x86 architecture.

  • Comment removed

  • And 4 years later... your $3000 Mac can't run the latest OS. Nice little bonus for Apple. ;-)

  • @beejor i can install it on my old Macbook ;)

  • I just fully realized he's gone and that really sucks.

  • why did the audience keep laughing? steve didnt seem amused

  • i fucking love apple. steve was a brilliant. a creative and insightful developer. i miss him already.

  • PC / Windows = Toyota Camry SE V6

    Apple / Mac OS X = Lexus ES

    Both cars use the same platform, and the same powertrain. The Lexus costs more, but it is more refined (higher quality fit and finish, smoother and more luxurious).

    Both computers use the same platform (Intel x86 architecture) and the same powertrain (similar CPU's, memory, video cards, etc.). The Mac costs more, but is much more refined (higher quality fit and finish, better and smoother user interface, etc.).

  • @jerseyemt Dude... I just took an screenshoot of that! AWESOME.

  • Amd yet apple was bashing intel for making half as fast cpu's as the power PC's, apple users are brainwashed and know nothing about computers. Everyone knows apple uses generic foxconn motherboards and the cheapest compodents and mark up their prices 400%.

  • @REPOMAN24722 Intel had really shitty speeds in their "Pentium" era. They switched because of the Core series. They make their own motherboards (but manufactured by Foxconn) or else it won't fit on their computers.

  • Well NextStep was processor-independently built. so since OS X's launch, I always assumed the same to be the case with OS X.

  • rip steve

  • rip

  • the right thing to do is make mac os x install on pcs. i know we can, but its always a hassle finding the right .kext and patches to make the system run.

  • @mickyd110011 No, that goes against everything Apple and most importantly Steve would never of done. If you want the OSX OS you buy a Mac plain and simple, it's the same reason why IOS only works on Apple devices and not Nokia, HTC, Samsung etc

    Apple operates on a close eco-system and that is what has made them successful, controlling both hardware and software makes a better experience for the user

  • @mickyd110011 I think that would be apple shooting themselves in the face. They seem happy enough us geeks doing it if we can, but I doubt they will make it official. Apple had bad experiances with licensing out mac os in the past...

  • Back in middle school I had those god awful first gen imacs with g3 chips. And they were running at faster mhz then our windows 98 dells. Yet the Dells easily outpaced the imacs in every thing we needed them to do. So much so that our district actually stopped buying macs because intel chips were faster and we could only get them in windows systems.

    Now my former school district never went back to macs even after the intel transition because mac service contract cost 3-4x as much.

    Windows>mac

  •  OLD

  • was laughster added to this vid?

  • i miss you steve!

  • 4:16 evolution of apple haha

  • Comment removed

  • Steve looked much much better here

  • Next year: And it turns out that every version of Mac OS X since Tiger is compatible with AMD............. just in case........

  • @Chintendoeddman It is man, they are both x86 or x86_64 processors.

  • @Chintendoeddman yeah ur right, rumors also say that

  • @Chintendoeddman Because it's x86. That's it.

  • @Chintendoeddman I wouldn't be suprised to be honest. Let's face it, OS X can be run on AMD hackintosh systems and can run without too many issues. Imagine if Apple were messing with AMD, it would work perfectly. I think it would be silly to think Apple haven't been messing around with AMD just to see what works and what doesn't. Oh, and the new bulldozers from AMD? awesome chips ;)

  • And consider adding AMD to the lineup Permanently.

  • @drjustin84 Makes me curious as to how well Bulldozer will fair compared to Intel's Core's.

  • I predict he was 5-6 years short on os x

  • 4:26 laughing sheeps o.o He's just drinking XD

  • 5:27 Woz

  • Cheers Steve. Thanks to this change you made, we are able to run os x on our pc's :)

  • If we are going like this that means 2021 is the year of mac os XI. Think about it.

    Apple publishes a new operating system every two years. Now. If mac os x lion comes tommorow that means that mac os x 10.8 comes 2013. plus i add two years every release. So 2015: mac os 10.9. 2017 mac os x 10.10 (maybe) And... 2019: mac os XI. At that year apple introduces mac os XI. And it's gonna come out 2 years later because they fixing it. Just like they did with mac os x when it was first introduced. OMG

  • I would like to find the pentium 4 machine he was working on in that keynote just for kicks ya know/

  • @TheMonsodyl000 That was a mac pro prototype. You can google it to see some pictures.

  • Steve said that Mac OS X has set them up for the next 20 years. So that means no Mac OS XI until 2021?

  • powerpc turns intel ;D

  • man Steve was chunky back then.....get well soon steve we need ya

  • HOLY FUCKING CRAP!

    ...Steve Jobs isn't wearing jeans.

  • This is sorta a depressing thought.... "Set us up for the next 20 years..." It's 11 years later steve. Get ready for OS 11/XIXI

  • Steve looked Buff back then...goes to show, your health is the most important thing you have folks...

  • I hope to god that this was the last Fuking transition!

  • @JoelB3783 There are rumours they're shifting over to ARM processors on Macbook by 2013.

  • @LessthanJake14 oh GOD! I hope they stay rumors.

  • @JoelB3783 It will never, EVER happen. With Intel's new 3D transistor, x86 will be as good as ARM in the mobile space, and consider Apple already has a solid relationship with Intel.

    Also, no Arm exists that could possibly handle OSX plus 'any' software of such caliber. ARM will most certainly not makes its way into any Macbook, , not even the Air. Don't worry :)

  • @HypnoticSuggestion

    Just because there is no desktop class ARM chip at the moment doesn't mean there won't be in a few months/years.

    Intel has an advantage in manufacturing technology and years of development of desktop class processors, but the x86 architecture itself is less efficient than ARM.

    I think it's very unlikely that the architecture that established itself a quarter of a century ago and kept dominant so long for compatibility reasons is still the most efficient today.

  • @Molo9000 Did you not here about Intel's next gen Tri-Gate? You obviously haven't. And why don't you elaborate on just exactly the type of hard lifting processing the ARM will be capable of? You think it can handle Gaming? Video rendering? What about VIRTUAL MACHINES?

    You're making serious assumptions about ARM capability, that couldn't possibly come within 5 years, "no roadmap exists for what you suggest!" If, and when, Moore's Law fails, then perhaps the entire industry will move to ARM.

  • @HypnoticSuggestion

    Intel's new tri-gate transistor is just another advantage in manufacturing technology, not architecture itself. There is no reason why ARM manufacturers couldn't develop equally good manufacturing processes soon.

    ARM has partnered with IBM to achieve just that.

    Fact is that ARM is a more efficient architecture. The main reason it's not used in desktops is the Wintel monopoly.

  • @Molo9000 Look, I'm all for a debate, but your not educated enough to have this discussion. It is 100% a new architecture, what in the world are you talking about....I ask? They've completely redesigned the transistor itself, this is a tock cycle for Intel. You're terribly misinformed, and dare I say arrogant.

    ARM is efficient in extreme low power devices, you simply don't understand what X86 is. Put a 3 watt ARM Cpu into a desktop PC, and watch it take a full year to boot< Metaphor, it wouldnt

  • @HypnoticSuggestion

    The tri-gate transistor is still a transistor. It's more power efficient and offers more performance, but it's still just another step forward in manufacturing transistors. Using transistors efficiently is another story.

    I'm no expert on computer architecture or x86 or ARM, but I can't believe that an instruction set that established a monopoly 25years ago and had lots of stuff added to it over the years is still the best possible instruction set today.

  • @Molo9000 Also you don't give ARM enough credit, they're already manufacturing as good as anyone in the world, you just don't understand, ARM is a VERY specific technology, with very low power form factor it's target. To develop an ARM, with ZERO instruction sets that support modern operating systems, for high end heavy lifting processing is the most bizzare notion I've read on this subject. Please, please I'm not beating up on you, you simply do not understand what ARM is. Go to Wiki, PLEASE.

  • @LessthanJake14 Never. ARM cannot handle OSX, or any software that runs on it. Also Ivy Bridge is coming, with Tri-Gate/3D Transistor technology that will allow x86 to perform on low power like ARM, but also allow great, x86 performance. ARM will never enter the notebook space. It will not penetrate any higher than medium spec Slate/Tablet.

  • i wish they did not do this. Now my Power Pc mac wont work with anything because its all for intel

  • @supercooldude2121 It's been five years, let it go man. PPC is dead as a doornail for anything except servers and game consoles.

  • @supercooldude2121 get a hackintosh

  • @supercooldude2121 Intel processors are so much better than Powerpcs dude. Majority of consumers use intel so it was only logical for Apple to switch. The is one of the smartest moves Apple has ever made, because it opened up so many new doors for compatibilty.

  • @TAKEAPlLL its the smartest move because people can run windows + os x

  • @Jullzzzz exactly...

  • @supercooldude2121

    Really? I see lots of stuff that works with OS 10.4+ as long as it has a PPC G5 processor, although it'll work on intel too due to the fact all macs built now are made with those processors.

  • @supercooldude2121 search tenfourfox (it's firefox 4 for PowerPC) and if you're on a G4 (slower ones) install mactubes it play well when switch to quicktime!

  • Wise man! The MacPro has 12 physical cores now (Thats 24 virtual!), so as the MacBook Pros which features Quad-Core i7 Turbo-Boost processors!

  • I would love to go to a Apple Keynote sooooooooo bad <3

  • @sirinferno It would be neat to see lmao....:/

  • @BrandonScott1001 no it wouldn't

  • jobs looks like he's having fun doing this. these keynotes wipe the floor with the best macroshaft has to offer.

  • it;s funny because they'll switch back at RISC (ARM). lol

  • i dont care steve where the hell is my 3.0ghz processor

  • @rg6ivan well, take a look at the current line of iMacs, before the inevitable 2011 update.

  • @rg6ivan In every Mac except the base 11" MacBook Air. If you add up the cores, they are all over 3.0 easy.

  • @1997mf878

    You don't multiply the clock speed x cores on the die. It simply doesn't work that way. For example, I might have a 2 GHz dual core, but the operational frequency of both cores may only be 2.5 GHz all together.

  • @rg6ivan They did make a 3.0Ghz Mac, but it was short lived since lower clocks and more cores made up for the 3Ghz.

  • @rg6ivan Aww, at least he's honest. He gave you a 2.7ghz powermac, and lets be honest it could still melt your face now.

  • @rg6ivan It's in iMacs. Not 3.0 dead, but 3.1 and 3.4.

  • Why can't I run some programs in my powerpc Mac that are designed for intel Macs? I mean, I don't have this problem with my PCs. My AMD PC can run the exact same programs my Intel PC can. Why is this a problem with the mac?

  • @Pagweb PowerPC and Intel processors are two totally different processor architectures. Intel and AMD both have the same x86/ x64 Architectures while PowerPC has some thing else, i dont know of, maybe x87?

  • @Pagweb PowerPC and X86(Intel) are like a diesel engine and a gas engine.

  • Was that mac running 3.6 GHz?!!!!!

  • Wow he sure is full of shit.

  • lol "Alright, enough of that"

  • That's vision!

  • what computer was he using i know it wasnt a mac because intel werent created yet

  • @cool2040coasters what on earth are you talking about

  • @cool2040coasters WTF????

  • @cool2040coasters yes it was, its an imac g5

  • @cool2040coasters ARE YOU CRAZY Intel was crated in the early 1970s where their first product , the Intel 4004 4-bit processor was used in calculators, followed by the 8008 on the C64, DOS and other Operating Systems. Then the 80186 16-Bit Processor cam out this time running Interface Manager or in other words, Windows. 80286, 80386, and the 80486 , all 16-Bit then the Pentium came out, this time 32 Bit and running Linux, Pentium 1 / II / III / 4 / D and now running Mac OS X the Core series.

  • @cool2040coasters er..think again smart guy. OSX is an OEM Operating System. It can't (legally) be run on any other computer. It was an early Intel Mac prototype.

  • APPLE= PREMIUM

    WINDOWS= GENERAL

  • @aniketroxx There are Windows based PC's that cost several thousand dollars, ya'know. Oh, and don't you mean "Microsoft= General"?

  • @aniketroxx depends on the manufacture. dell, hp and other companies can make premium machines, they do and don't .

  • I think Apple should start making all of their devices with their own chips. Then products would sell more because it will be cheaper.

  • @ipwncrackas nah they'd make some excuse up to make them more expensive...

  • @ipwncrackas well you really know nothing do you LOL, if Apple did that the cost would go up dramatically. Most likely be double what costs now, as the would be cost for research and development, the cost for transitioning software etc, the factories needed to build the chips to meet supply and demand, plus it would make things more complicated to the average consumer. so really do your research before posting

  • hahah pentium 4

  • @druemichaelbuono don't knock Pentium 4. It can still scream running the latest Ubuntu. also, this was back in 2005 remember :P

  • I wonder if they are still compiling Mac OS X for PowerPC. :-) Wasn't the whole idea to use Intel processors in iPhone/iPad? Now they're not... they could go back to PowerPC for desktops and notebooks.

  • @deivuuk i doubt they could move back to PPC for desktops now because of BootCamp. Windows is not compatible with PPC processors as far as I know. however, they probs ARE still developing for PPC as a just in case.

  • Set Apple Up For 20 Years? That Means That There Should Be A Mac OS 10.20

  • THIS. CHANGES. EVERYTHING.

  • i'm 130000 Visit!!

  • @iJulio32 here's an invisible medal :-)

  • @pixelr0 hahahaah!!!

  • i love apple kay notes

    every one just laughs like if it was a comedy show

  • and 5 years later i have an intel macbook.

  • no jeans!!!! Black pants!

  • @gtgidemgreen shame he didn't change his top as well :P

  • seriously, what is it that ppl ffind so amusing? they're loling all the time :S maybe its me who doesnt have any humor :P

  • 07:31 what the audience laughing at?

  • Steve Jobs knows how to make the best keynotes!

  • I didn't know there was a Pentium 4 Mac

  • he was way fatter here

  • It is funny how Apple always used to make fun of Intels Cpu's.

  • I hope apple starts making their own processors by the time os11 comes out

  • Yes Power PC is when Apple start a project called mkLinux where Apple want to make their own Linux distribution ... At the same time Steve Jobs was coping BSD at NeXTSTEP / to create OpenStep OS ... Openstep later was bought by Apple to make Mac OS X ...

    Apple copies lots of open source operating system and have for years... I use Linux , BSD, and Windows 7 on my HP / PC and they work great... Linux, and BSD have no known viruses... So who need a Mac ? No one...

  • lol wtf? I didn't know that...

    THAT'S WHY I LOVE APPLE SO MUCH^

  • i miss all these little snippets of surprise Apple used to employ in his keynotes.

  • @ATHODrew Hahah, why was the 'e' unaligned?

  • @borhos222 Because it's unaligned in the Intel logo. So basically by doing that he confirmed the rumor that they would switch to Intel before he even announced it shortly after.

  • @ATHODrew Oh ! That isss clever.

  • If only Apple had made one last 64 bit version of Mac OS optimized just for the PPC like they did with Snow Leopard for Intel. 10.5 is great, but it is a little bloated and I'd love to see a quad G5 smoking away on a fully 64 bit OS.

  • this is the were hakintosh was born ;)

  • Sorry for the Type-Os but I'm a little upset and typing on a mac!

  • Everyone should just boycott Apple for such a greedy and wormy move like this, especially during a recession. What a bunch of assholes! People's businesses are been shut down and these scumbags are saying "Well if you want to stay in the game and compete you better be willing to fork over the money you don't have to do so". I knew these people were corrupt as it comes. They need to be taught a lesson and lose a lot of business.

  • @myoldshorts That was '05, no recession

  • Screw Apple! They completely made my G5 tower that I had only a couple of years obsolete with this big greedy move to try and sucker all their old patrons into buying new systems all together. Well fuck you! I am never buying any apple product again that doesn't comply to my G5 that I spent a shit load of money on. The intel chips aren't any better and they could have made all upgrade software compatible with both systems but they are to greedy to do so!

  • @myoldshorts AFAIK the Power Macs where great systems, the problem was that PowerPC developement was stagnating, so Apple had to choose, either switch, or become extinct

  • @myoldshorts That's the way technology goes and that's not only Apple: that's everyone. I just bought a Full HDTV last year and today I could have gotten an LED TV for the same price and size. That's just the way it goes. Apple isn't gonna wait 5-7 years waiting for YOU to be tired of your Mac before making a new one, so stop being a whiny bitch because you don't have to buy their products. Apple isn't one to blame, it's everyone.

  • @lepolohuevo Okay you're an idiot. I'm not talking about them putting out a new computer. I'm talking about them switching product completely so that everyone has to buy all new systems in order to upgrade any software when they didn't have to. Sorry your stupid enough to think that this is alright to do in any Business Ethics. Because of people like you it makes it easy for them to FUCK PEOPLE OVER!

  • @lepolohuevo

    Exactly, EXCELLENT opinon! PErforma 5500/275

    Thumb up!

    From a Macintosh 5500/275 with a PowerPC 603 inside :)

  • steve jobs is so good. think of how he sets up what he says and make it work with his demonstrations. billgates stutters and basically is a bad public speaker

  • Steve Jobs not only helped Apple set standards across the worlds, he kind of set standards for presentations/keynotes.

  • if Microsoft is a "photocopier", then why is BILL GATES much much richer than Steve "skinny gay-boy" blow-jobs?

  • @cinemascene umm because MS sell cheap ass crap so poorer people can afford to buy there products and since there are more poor than well of people in the world PC's dominate, that doesn't mean PC's are better it just means what the majority can afford, now i have been a mac user 12 years & i currently own 9 Macs and they are brilliant machines :D

  • @macnerd93

    Really? I can build a unique, one-off pc that outperforms any mac for less money. Apple isn't more expensive because it's better, it's economics 101, the more of something you sell, the cheaper you can sell it for while maintaining profit. Also macs are more expensive because idiots keep paying that much for under-performing machines.

  • @RCTPatriot75 thing is though I'm not interested in owning a PC, i've built plenty in my time & well i prefer my macbook pro.

    my Mac is fast enough for me, has a 2.53Ghz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM and a 500GB HD

  • @RCTPatriot75 and if you read the news recently you'd know that Apple surpassed Microsoft as the largest tech company. Macs are more expensive for several reasons, your paying the privilege to use OS X, the quality of the Macs, & the design

  • @macnerd93 You know for half the price if not less you could build your own custom computer and only spend the $30 for Mac OS X, Project x86 has a wiki on what parts you need to build you computer, after all said and done you have a fully functional Mac computer with parts you don't need to spend an arm and a leg for

  • @Geeker1982 thing is though I've built PC's for people I have no intention of owning one after all the problems i had & don't even get me started at how unreliable OS X Hackintosh can be, put it this way some bootups on some builds can be slower than 10 year old + macs booting Leopard. I'd rather spend the extra money & that is why I own a MacBook, eMac, Power Mac graphite, Power Mac Quicksilver, 3 Mac minis, an Apple display & a new unibody MacBook Pro :P

  • @macnerd93 ahh but if you pick your parts correctly and spend time to edit the dsdt then you can get a fully functioning mac for half the price that is 100% reliable ive never had a crash and been using them since 10.5.6

  • @nerologic101 10.5.6 wasn't very long ago LOL, try me I've been using proper Macs since Mac OS 8 in 1998 :P

  • @macnerd93 i never said it was long i just said that for nearly 2 years i havent had a single problem just takes patience and not to rush in like a bull in a china shop then say there shit and upredictable

  • yeah Mr & Miss Smith :D

  • Go Apple

  • I mean Steve Jobs keynotes are great to see

  • its nice to watch Job's presentations. however, people sometimes is retarded, they laugh at everything he does or says . for example, 4:25, he is just drinking water ffs.

  • @DonLduk You have to view this the context of the time. The web was flooded with rumors of a switch and that OS X already existed for x86. Developers really wanted it, but knew there would be huge hurdles to go through.

    Steve basically made a lot of people happy with this AND alleviated some of the potential hurdles. They were giddy with excitement. It was almost like Christmas morning for the attendees.

  • @DonLduk cause many Mac zealot are "gay-boys", so they see Steve-blow-jobs' drinking action from a bottle as sucking a gay dick.

  • @DonLduk Probably more nervous laughter about major transitions.

  • 6:22

    He's using a Hackintiosh!

  • most likely he is using a mac pro with intel that was released not too long after this

  • @s043487263 I think it's really an old iMac Prototype that didn't have a core duo. After all, it was 2005, and the intel core line didn't come until Q1 of 2006.

    I was just joking because the only time I used OSX and it said I was using a Pentium 4 on "About this mac", It wasn't on a mac, it was on my gateway 420GR.

  • Apple never released a Mac with a P4 chip.

  • The Apple TV runs OS X Leopard with Tiger extensions on a P4.

  • Yes, in a way he was. They used normal PCs (I've heard they were Dells actually LOL) with a special BIOS Apple flashed them with. No Mac ever used a Pentium, by the time Macs with Intel came out they were using much faster CoreDuos and Xeons in the Pro.

  • @compactc9 I read that they shipped a special modified Pentium for for Power Mac G5

  • @macnerd93 Interesting. Would be nice to get ahold of that if it existed. I'd like to run Snow Leopard on my G5.

  • @compactc9 na they gave them back to Apple, i'm pretty sure every developer did considering Apple gave them a free Core Duo iMac for doing so

  • Actually, the Intel x86 processors today have RISC and CISC aspects. In some instances the x86 chip "translates" CISC code into RISC-like micro-ops and then back to CISC code. As processors have ramped up in overall speed, CISC has moved a bit towards RISC and vice versa, so as I understand things, the instruction set is blurred as compared to back in the mid-1990's when there were clear distinctions between RISC and CISC.

  • What the hell are you talking about???This video is from

    2005
