The Apple business was very interesting. I'd love to know what the incentives were that Intel gave Apple.

You might ask yourself who was beholden to whom? The could have gone with AMD but they could have stayed with IBM as well. They had a long term vision and apparently they thought Intel was the one who had the best chance of delivering.

When Apple was making the switch they could have gone to a 64-bit processor right away with AMD, but they chose to use a 32-bit stopgap from Intel.

Huh?
