According to a brief paragraph on MacOS Rumours Apple may be switching to IBM POWER4 CPUs instead of the Motorola G5 for future Macs.

I am sure, this will be Apple's solution. It fits for both of them:
Intel needs support for its Itanium platform, especially when it comes to the Desktop. For one or two years until Itanium is ready for the desktop, Apple will stick to PowerPC.
Apple can get a lot of help from Intel including an adoption of its formerly DEC technology FX-32 ! which allows you to run PowerPC code.
And they are already on the Itanium platform before Microsoft arrives (in volume).
So - why not?
