With the announcement that Apple is switching to Intel, the computing world has been thrown a curve ball. Speculation will run rampant for the next year. We obviously won't know what's going to happen until it happens, but I see a bright future coming out of this. I see Apple with more headroom for the future to create better, faster designs. I see much more opportunity for the hacker community to work with this also.

But it is taking off, in a real big way! In consoles, in servers, in embedded applications.
That was my point - one of the problems cited by Apple was not enough performance but this may be something that was about to get resolved. If consoles become the center piece of home computing, the chips that go with them will increase in power more quickly than in the past. Apple could have hitched a ride to the top in that case. They might also have enjoyed the potential explosion of USB devices targetted at consoles in the future.
