Theeey're heeere... Mac & Intel

I received an email from the apple Developer Connection today with some links on how to transition existing Mac OS X binaries to Intel based binaries.  This means a bit more work for developers to support Mac OS X non-Intel based platforms and intel based platform. 
 
This also brings up a point, even though Mac is releasing a very large update to Mac OS X, they are not branding it as entirely new operating system.  This is a smart move from Apple, keeping the point clear that customers get the same look and feel in their applications, now with a faster and cheaper chipset.  Here is the resource center from Apple, with some interesting links on the new Intel Core Duo Processor and developing for the new Intel platform.

I found this link to be pretty interesting:  http://www.intel.com/cd/ids/developer/asmo-na/eng/255716.htm

Note:  The biggest difference in the core architecture is Endianess.
