Apple wants a co-operative chip manufacturer. Intel was _delighted_ to 
get the Apple account (foreshadowing: 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/26/otellini_buy_apple/ ), in 
contrast to IBM not really caring too much about their PPC partner.

Intel has a limitless fab capability. that also means alot to Apple ... 
they were having yield issues.

so yes Kim you're right, if they _just_ want performance they'd go with 
AMD. but they'd have to take a number, and Intel seems to like them.
