This makes sense for both Apple and Intel, and really is no big surprise. The "Star Trek" project has long been talked about. The guts of OS X came from NextStep, which last flourished on Intel before flaming out. My guess is that this will not be a simple port to the post x86 platform but something in which Apple/Intel will keep control over the entire platform (and keep out AMD, etc). I like the Jobs quote about gigahertz and delivering a PPC 3 ghz system. Soooo much has gone into the argument that clock rating isnt important.
