Currently, apple owns 2% of the computer market.

actually read an article based on some study the other day - 16% of computers are apple - the 2% figure everyone goes by are sales figures not actual figures of how many users have apples

Intel makes superior processors by far, and there is no arguement there at all.

I'll argue with that along with most of the experts in the industry and I'll bring stacks of third party benchmarks and test that prove amd outperforms intel in almost every aspect - it's why a lot of people are scratching their heads right now trying to figure out why apple choose intel and not amd

answer - it's not about performance - it's about business and putting a hurt on microsoft - i just hope that apple doesn't help intel put a better, cheaper amd out of business and they come out with support for amd chips too
