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.

they have been saying ppc is faster for years, they have been saying that intel was slow because it had some backwards compatibility.

Apple was wrong.

pc chips are faster, more power efficient.

pc chips use such a small portion of the chip for backwards compatibility, its so small that it means nothing negative for performance.

AND finally, pc chips are never going to have a focus change, or go out of business. Apple will have access to these kind of chips as long as there is a computer market.
