[QUOTE="goobimama, post: 616257, member: 17032"] The Power6 (and the Power5) is quite a different chip from the PowerPC G6 (and the PowerPC G5), if there ever was one. They are meant for high end hardware and not for consumer electronics. So they can't be used for this comparison. Also, if Apple had not moved to Intel, they would never have gotten a dual core into the Powerbook. They just sucked too much power, resulting in low performance per watt. And notebooks as you know are a top selling item. [/QUOTE]
