The first Apple computers with Intel x86 processors will be launched on June 6, 2006, DigiTimes reports.

It will be an entry-level Mac PC lineup, including the Mac mini, iBook and iMac series.

Apple said earlier that the company would deliver new Macintosh computers using Intel microprocessors by June of next year and transition all of its Macs to using Intel chips by the end of 2007.

Rumors have circulated that a test version of Apple’s Mac OS X Tiger version 10.4.1 for an Intel-powered Macintosh has been released for limited testing. Apple is expected to unveil its new Macintosh PCs with the ‘Intel Inside’ logo on January 9 of next year, when Macworld 2006 takes place in San Francisco from January 9 to 13, sources at domestic PC makers indicated.
