I don&rsquo;t, but let&rsquo;s assume I do.</p> <p>Why Intel? Why? Why not Opteron? It&rsquo;s a superior architecture, and the PowerMacs already use HyperTransport&hellip;</p> <p>Well, will soon find out what this is all about. The only sure thing I know, is that Jobs does not announce the switch to x86 chips next week, CNet and other will have a lot of explaining to do to it&rsquo;s readers :).</p>
