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.

No doubt about it, the PPC is a great chip, but only a few times has it been faster than Intel or AMD, period! I really don't care what this zealot things. I have a G3,G4, Intel, and a AMD. I know how fast they all run PS, After Effects etc. Even with Altivect and hyperthreading.
Where is the new Powerbook? It's still on the drawing board or on some shelf wieghing 12 pounds from a 970 crambed into it.
Darwin was built to run on x86. So does this mean that it's running native now?
All accounts are saying it runs fast and matches and beats the deul Power Mac. That alone is great news and incredible. That a tester model with integrated video beats or matches the G5 in OpenGL and Quartz.
- "the thing is fast". All iLife apps are already universal binaries
- Pentium 4 660 at 3.6GHz, but will not be used in the shipping product" Macrumors
"The Intel Mac scored well in both the Quartz graphics and OpenGL graphics tests "almost matching or exceeding dual-2.5GHz G5 score"." Macrumors
Nice, we should have some smoking machines in the first generation of new Macs and Powerbooks.
