Several reasons:feyd wrote:yep. Which is why I've always been wondering how the hell did Intel get Apple to go exclusive? Large investment? (probably would have heard about that) I saw the "we chose them because of their roadmap" or something, but come on.. Even I, a previously hardcore Intel only person, has switched to Athlon..

overall , yes (they will be faster).Roja wrote:In a word, No.pilau wrote:Aren't Macs now going to be weaker with usig Inte CPUs instead of PowerPC CPUs?
Because IBM held back development on most of the PowerPC lines due to both heat and scaling issues, PowerPC fell behind over a year ago. The new IntelMac's are faster in almost every sense than the fastest PowerMac's.
(Almost, because some of the peripherals arent, such as no high-speed firewire, etc).
