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.

Apple says that Intel will be where they want to be, two years from now. And where will that be?
According to The Inquirer (snip/synop):
The chips are based on the Pentium M philosophy of shorter and more efficient pipelines, 12 or 13 stages. Don't look for clock speeds anywhere near that of Netburst products, more in the 2.5GHz range for the desktop parts. Also, the chips will be "out" starting in late 2006 with Merom, followed by Conroe, then Woodcrest.
We expect them to be publicly shown at the next Spring IDF, and perhaps Chipzilla will lift the veil and show off a couple of early, early samples at Fall IDF, if there is one. Intel may not have functional silicon by then.

So, Will these better the G5 2.7DP w/ dual 1.35GHz bus Apple uses now? or that IBM could deliver in the same 2007 time frame?
