Just thought I'd point out a factual error in your article. AMD is widely regarded outside the Apple world as having a superior archicture to Intel and hence higher performance in both speed and performance-per-watt. Even the latest Core Duo product is only playing catch-up to AMD's multicores from last year and they still no answer to AMD's sophisticated HyperTransport technology. Conroe may level the playing field, but to call Intel an "innovator" and AMD a "successful follower" smacks of good old fashioned ignorance that us Apple folk are so often guilty of. You can verify this by visiting tomshardware.com, trawling through last year's "theregister.co.uk" articles and of course the stock market (finance.google.com gives a nice view of the picture if you look at Intel and AMD over a 6 month period and shows all relevant news over that period).
