Is there anybody here who stills hates x86 because PowerPC was better?
You might want to rethink your opinions there. The PowerPC had/has its share of problems that were never going to be addressed. The most important for portable, consumer products is PPW. The same issue Apple saw in the product roadmap and one of the reasons they jumped ship.
Jobs talked about Performance Per Watt and whether you like Apple or not, he was correct. If you look at the Apple presentation when they announced the Intel move you can see the stats he talks about. Those are correct BTW.
Rumors were that Jobs begged IBM to reduce PPW so that a G5 could be in a notebook but IBM either wouldn't or couldn't and it forced Apple to move to Intel. The smartest move they could have done IMO.
Even if you don't care about a PPC notebook, just look at it consumption in a desktop package. It is a hot and power hungry chip.
ARM is a great portable chip but it is anemic on computational power. Floating Point is it Achilles heel.
I'm not an Intel Fanboi, I just try keep up with this stuff. Intel -to me- has to be a tablet CPU with desktop performance. I'm saying, that people want the power of their notebook or desktop CPU in a backward compatible, power sipping, battery loving CPU that can run their tablet for 15 hours a day.
That is no small task. Personally, I think Intel has done a great job. They are not perfect but when you look at what they have done, I think it is very respectable.
