Apple wants a co-operative chip manufacturer. Intel was _delighted_ to
get the Apple account (foreshadowing:

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.
