Apple will start using Intel chips in 2006, according to today’s press release.

“Apple previewed a version of its critically acclaimed operating system, Mac OS’ X Tiger, running on an Intel-based Mac’ to the over 3,800 developers attending CEO Steve Jobs’ keynote address. Apple also announced the availability of a Developer Transition Kit, consisting of an Intel-based Mac development system along with preview versions of Apple’s software, which will allow developers to prepare versions of their applications which will run on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs.”
