Apple Was it Palol Rossetti that one said, "People in glass house shouldn't throw stones?" Push away the Intel this, the Pentium-M that, or perhaps the ability to use the Dual Core Pentium 4, Apple has a much bigger challenge ahead of them. For years, they have been throwing down the MHz myth and now? They are sleeping with the "enemy" according to PowerPC zealots.

MHz myth

I'll also mention the Pentium M. The chip has proven to be very fast in benchmarks, to use little power, and for the same cache size would actually be smaller than a G5 (current Pentium M chips have 2MB of cache).

In MIPS per watt for desktop/laptop CPUs intel seems to have the upper hand over motorola and IBM at the moment.
