I agree, but at the same time I suggest doing this:
The Apple A4 chip should be standardized for all mobile platforms

have a
different name and a new generation, like the PowerPC G5 v2, or the
PowerPC G6, or the Core G6... I love the PowerPC platform and will
never
give it up. I sorta refuse to buy an intel mac too.
Unfortunately, Motorola jettisoned their chip division. It was going
by the name "Freescale" but I haven't heard much recently. Also, at
the same time, the older employees were terminated (I have a friend
who was one of them) so who knows if the PPC could be updated.
Maybe Apple should buy Freescale, produce the 68080, and use that for
OS X. :-)
It is Apple's "A" chips or AMD's chips that have the best bet of
supplanting Intel in Macs.
On a more serious note, why is replacing Intel chips important?
