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.

You can get a 3.4GHz Dell for under $900, a 3.6ghz can't be a whole lot more. So why compare it against a machine *3* times more expensive? That's stupidity.
The simple fact of it is that the PowerPC is not developing as fast as it needs to in order to compete with x86 at the desktop level. Its pretty simple. When Steveo wasn't able to live up to his "3ghz" promise the writing was on the wall.
There's also the thought that Intel is doing this because they're attempting to push away from Microsoft. Microsoft wants to control the hardware of "their" platform and in doing so for the xbox360 they dumped Intel, so Intel is striking back by signing up a second major tier-1 (the other being Dell) OEM.
