Apple to open research lab near Intel at CMU
Apple plans to open a new research facility Carnegie Mellon University's campus in Oakland, joining Intel's existing labs at the same site, according to a report in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. The announcement comes only a few months after the companies announced that Apple will transition Macs to Intel chips over the next two years. "Apple plans to open a research facility at CMU's Collaborative Innovation Center.... The Apple facility combined with other tenants at the center is expected to create at least 200 new jobs. The Apple facility will share the top floor of the four-story building with Intel's existing Intel Research Pittsburgh unit, a research laboratory that employs 17 people.... Plans are for researchers from Apple and Intel in the new building to discuss the possibility of cooperating or working on joint projects."

It's also painfully obvious that the Intel move has to do with more than just chips. Apple spent too much time and money on the PPC to just abandon it for a chip with similar performance. We can all understand that Jobs is a bit of a corporate bitch, but he's not stupid; Intel and Apple probably have something big planed.
