I don't know what to make of the impact this will have on computing in general, but I want to know where I can get ahold of whatever Jobs is smoking:

When we look at future roadmaps, mid-2006 and beyond, we see PowerPC gives us 15 units of perfomance per watt, but Intel's roadmap gives us 70.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that Intel's x86 chips are the least efficient, hottest, most power-hungry electronics on the market.

Maybe by performance per watt he meant performance per dollar. That's certainly true.
