And Dvorak says, this is the death of Linux!. Or perhaps he is just
trying to help his own flagging circulation numbers.
What it realy does is increase (slightly) the hegemony of Intel and
perhaps hammers one more nail in the the RISC coffin.
What about AMD, the clear leader in the 64bit multi-core race (this
week.) As JT points out, maybe Jobs knows somthing that Intel has up
their sleeve, that we dod not.

WWDC 2005, SAN FRANCISCO—June 6, 2005—At its Worldwide Developer
Conference today, Apple® announced plans to deliver models of its
Macintosh® computers using Intel® microprocessors by this time next
year, and to transition all of its Macs to using Intel microprocessors

“Our goal is to provide our customers with the best personal computers
