Rumour and speculation on Apple killing off Atom support in a Mac OS X 10.6.2 beta seed may just have been premature as apparently the same source has said a newer build, 10C535 looks to include the support and also intimates the lack of Atom support may have been temporary or even a bug.

Word is Apple code doesn’t deliver any clues to whether the removal was intentional or not, so no explanation on the official front seems to be forthcoming.

What it does mean though is it looks like all Apple need is to flip the switch again and it’s bye bye Atom support, and there is no guarantee Atom support will continue on to the publicly released version of the Snow leopard patch.
