Speculation on the IP list is that if Apple switches their Macs to
Intel chips, they'll still be PowerPC.  Apple's deal with IBM lets 'em
yank the G5 design and take it to another manufacturer if IBM fails to
deliver 3GHz and low-power G5s.  Which is, in fact, the case.

It may already.  It's ARM-based, and Intel's xScale operation makes
some of the fastest ARM chips around.
