Actually, tell your mate they DID design it, just like they invented the MP3 player, the GUI, and tablet computers...

I thought that sounded a bit ridiculous. As far as I know Core 2 was built from the Pentium M architecture which was an evolution of the Pentium III? Did Intel have a special exclusivity deal with Apple for the first couple of months when the core 2 was originally released?

He was trying to convince me that it was a big secret because if people knew it was deigned by apple no body would buy it

hahaha, fucking Apple nerds.

Tell you friend the Israelis designed it. The new architecture sprung forth from Intel's mobile CPU division, and replaced Netburst, due to its high IPC and efficiency.

Nothing to do with Apple, although Apple did approach Intel to manufacture a chip based on Apple's unique requirements. which Intel did, because the money was good. Business/turn-over/profitability is what it boils down to. Nothing else matters.

AMD managed to do it in the "old days" by using a very powerful microscope to reverse engineer the very early 486/Pentium era processors.

I thought x86 was shared by US law due to widespread use in the US military?
