Apple seems to know what they're doing
...In switching to Intel processors. I stumbled across this article which discusses the Playstation 3 and XBox 360 gaming consoles, which use an IBM Cell and PowerPC-based processors, respecitvely.
Choice quote: "The most ironic bit of it all is that according to developers, if either manufacturer had decided to use an Athlon 64 or a Pentium D in their next-gen console, they would be significantly ahead of the competition in terms of CPU performance."
That's Alanis Morissette-ironic rather than dictionary-ironic, but the point stands--when people compare processors for speed, Intel is always cited as the goal to reach, with AMD in a close second. Just get those new PowerBooks out soon, OK? -m
