And, yet, PC's and Macs are still pretty much neck and neck in terms of performance. In fact, dual proc Intel Xeons beat a dual proc AMD and squished the dual G4 like a bug; the Mac came in dead last by a large margin. The G5's faster front side bus speed evened things out, but it makes perfect sense for Apple to switch to a CPU maker whose primary business is making CPU's and whose procs are advancing in power far more quickly than IBM's.
