The "rumor" was started by Steve Job's announcement, and, as I understand
it, has to do with the fact that Intel is leading the industry in low power
cpu's, allowing maximum time between charges on laptop computers, which are
the industry's biggest sellers right now. With the best operating system
and a competitive time between charges (TBC -- okay, I made that
abbreviation up), Apple can continue to compete; otherwise, it becomes the
left behind.
NPR had an in depth discussion of the subject tonight on All Things
Considered.

I can't believe so much is being made here of what
amounts to an unsubstantiated rumor.
At the outset, to change to Intel chips would indeed
remove the thing that makes a Mac a Mac. And in doing
so would kill Mac's following once and for all.
Perhaps the REAL purpose for the starting of said
rumor?
