Nope. Apple's Intel-based Macs.
I find it impossible to believe that Apple would stoop down to Intel processor architecture,
They're using the new "Core Duo" (aka Yonah) series in the iMacs and PowerBooks. Others will follow over the next several years as Intel brings their newer chips online.
just to get more market share.
Actually, the explanation was that Intel had a better long term road map than IBM/FreeScale. FreeScale has had a really hard time meeting Apple's supply needs, the Power Architecture looks like it's going to be focussing in the "cell" direction and more on embedded solutions and the IBM/FreeScale partnership has missed several promised speed increases and still can't quite get the power consumption/heat output under control in the G5 series.
