As you may know, Apple recently released Intel-based Macintosh machines. We purchased an iMac with a 2 GHz Intel CPU. Here is what we have found so far.
The PowerPC version of Igor Pro 5 runs correctly on the Intel iMac so far as we have been able to determine in limited testing. This version of Igor runs on Intel using Apple's "Rosetta" emulation. The speed is roughly 1/4 to 1/2 the speed on a 2.1 GHz PowerPC iMac.
We are working on a native Intel Macintosh version of Igor Pro. This will be part of the next major release of Igor. We do not know when this will ship or what the upgrade cost or policies will be. We estimate that a beta test version will be available in a couple of months or so.
We will announce future developments on the Igor Mailing List.
