最近,苹果公司宣布,为了降低生产成本,为客户提供更多的硬件选择机会,苹果将在未来产品中采用已经广泛应用于Wintel PC机的三项核心技术。 苹果公司即将采用的一项英特尔技术是AGP(加速图形接口),AGP是英特尔的快速3D图形接口技术。苹果计划在1999年年中将AGP技术集成到Mac产品中。苹果计划采用的另一项技术是由英特尔、康柏、微软开发的USB(通用串行总线)技术。即将于今年8月上市的iMac机器将支持USB总线,它将是第一例支持“即插即用”标准的苹果机。此外,为了使处理器升级更方便,苹果的新型PowerMacG3系统还将支持英特尔的ZIF插接技术。 尽管未来的苹果机会融入越来越多的PC技术,但Mac操作系统和Power PC
Recently, Apple announced that in order to reduce production costs and provide customers with more hardware options, Apple will adopt the three core technologies that have been widely used in Wintel PCs in future products. One of Intel’s forthcoming technologies for Apple is AGP (Accelerated Graphics Interface), which is Intel’s fast 3D graphics interface technology. Apple plans to integrate AGP technology into Mac products by mid-1999. Another technology Apple plans to adopt is USB (Universal Serial Bus) technology developed by Intel, Compaq, and Microsoft. The upcoming iMac machine, due in August of this year, will support the USB bus and will be the first Macintosh to support the “plug and play” standard. In addition, to make processor upgrades more convenient, Apple’s new PowerMacG3 system will also support Intel’s ZIF docking technology. Although the future of Apple’s opportunity to integrate more and more PC technology, but the Mac operating system and Power PC
