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.

And where was the PPC going? It isn't going anywhere. IBM has failed to produce. Apple is doing the right thing.

That's what I don't get though...where is any CPU going in terms of mhz. Absolutely nowhere, the P4 has been hovering in the same range for a while. Intel, AMD, IBM...they've all hit a large roadblock in their fight against the physics of transistors some just hit it at lower speeds than others.
That's what is causing dual cores to become much more viable option. There were Dual core G4's and there were dual core G5's on the way.
PPC did have some life in it but in the next few years it's going to leave the desktop scene and stay in the high end server area as well as the embedded area.
