3 years ago Apple still used PowerPC chips. The marketing emphasis was on the capabilities of PowerPC, such as SFP and DPF, over the x86 chips.

Due to various reasons, the PowerPC designs has languished while Intel has surged forth with Core Duo chips and with Apple's transition to the same Intel chips that ALL manufacturers have access to, it should be obvious the marketing emphasis has to be something else.
