  3. Apple's Intel Transition

    Apple's Intel Transition

    Apple helped develop PowerPC processors as competition against Intel in the 1990s, but by the early 2000s, the architecture was falling behind. Apple's switch to Intel x86 processors revived its Mac computers, kicked off the Hackintosh era, and made AMD jealous. Hosted by Corbin Davenport, guest starring Cody Toombs.
