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.

Great article. You provide evidence and rationality instead of emotion. You left out one thing though: one of the major reasons Apple did not go with AMD is the same reason they left IBM--unreliable supply. AMD has been quoted in various publications as currently selling every chip they make. In this situation how are they going to supply Apple reliably--especially considering that Apple will not be a major volume customer for several years at least (try and compare Apples volume to HP). On the other hand Intel has undeniably the greatest manufacturing capability of any CPU vendor. That fact combined with their excellent mobile technologies sealed the deal (i.e. Pentium M has always surpassed the G4 in performance). I cannot wait for a dual core SSE3 Pentium M, Yonah, Powerbook. Apple you've got my money.
