“One year after Apple Computer announced plans to use Intel processors in its computers, Apple is pushing the world’s largest chip maker into new directions, a top executive said Monday. ‘They push us to think about things that we may not always think about,’ said Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and general manager of Intel’s sales and marketing group. ‘We were hoping for that to happen and that certainly happened,’ he said,” Sumner Lemon reports for IDG News Service. “Apple’s view of how the computer market will evolve has influenced Intel’s product roadmap, Chandrasekher said. That impact will be felt over the long term, rather than showing up soon, he said.”
