Apple is going for name recognition, who'd have thought?
That means that it's a big popularity contest and not quality... and AMD has shown to be the better product for the price. But Intel is the name brand. And the populace, little better than cultists, flock to what the hip cool name brand is.

But who'd be surprised?

Apple ditched SCSI for IDE... no price change for the consumer.

Apple ditched their own crash-prone platform for a modified FreeBSD... no price change.

Apple ditched Motorola for Intel, claiming Intel is the much faster chip... when even one year ago, it was the G5 that blew Intel away. And, so far, no price change.

I smell a rotting Apple, infested with worms these days too... grin If they're so desperate for customers that they have to hang on the coat tails of a "name" rather than make the better product and sell by that route... only fools and the wealthy will still cling to Apple at this juncture.
