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.

Processor, schmossesor. Intel chips do the job and with them Apple pretty much guaranteed to keep up with the competition. The powerPC development has consistently fallen behind at various points in processor history. I take this to be a simple function of the attempt to produce a high-end processor at relatively low volumes, compared to Intel (a guess).
As far as the MHZ wars, has anyone ever heard of MARKETING?
It's a bad for people have religious convictions about processors, but it's a great for Apple.
