A New Rumor from the Web

After the iPhone, a new rumor has spread on the web. According to Digitimes (not always reliable), Apple might built computer based on AMD CPU. Reason for such rumor comes from sources in passive component industry. Indeed, Apple is reported ordering massive amount of high-capacitance multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) of 22ìF usually used in AMD-based notebook. However, Intel-based notebook would also use such MLCC.
Such rumor does not have solid basis, as AMD might indeed provide ATI GPU to Apple for future notebook update. Such large order of MLCC by Apple might also reflect massive orders already recorded for MacBook and MacBook Pro. It could also pave the way for other rumors related to a sub-notebook, a 15" MacBook or simply correlate with the future production of iTV.
