Motorola or IBM or Apple is the same on the power lineup. They all share developement as a joint venture.
Apple does know they will need to compete with the Intel 64 bit , needed or not on higher end user desktops. IBM's with the Power4 alread start at $12K. So, make a few million of them and what is the cost? $3K? The price of a mac now.
