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.

First. Moor's law is on intels side since IBM stopped improving the G5. The current g5 offering is equal or better then many intel chips. This here is all about the future and Jobs stresses this at length in his keynote.
Second. Since we are on the topic of future development. Desktop computers peaked years ago. Mobile computing is what its all about. You can plug in a monitor into your laptop and make it a desktop on demand but you can't do the opposite. The performance hungry applications these days run on game consoles and servers not on run the mil PCs. Intel has by leaps and bounds the best current mobile CPU and they are dumping all their R/D into it as you can clearly see by their bastardization of their pentium4 proper cpus which they keep current by acquiring AMD patents until it can be replaced by whatever they are working on.
