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.

If you read benchmarks from anywhere but Apple's site, you'd know G5's never were faster than Intels or AMDs. It was always marketing BS. But Apple has nothing to worry about. The cult will follow...blindly.

You can also read the recently posted benchmarks showing Linux to beat OS X handily as a server.
It may be very good for Apple, performance-wise, that they're switching to a better architecture, but they still need to optimize their kernel for performance. We'll have a real test once they're on the same platform. It could get really interesting.
