I'm too lazy to find the article or exact numbers but I read that Apple pays ~$30 for the G4 chips and these Intel chips are ~$150.

One of the stories that went around when Apple originally said they were switching to Intel was that Intel were going to offer a very attractive discount per CPU.

What I find quite odd is the backlash that Apple have received from switching to Intel. Loads of postings from Mac fanboys who say they're never switching and how Apple have screwed up etc... What are the chances they'll buy it anyway?

At the end of the day, 95% of the people that use a Mac don't need to know what CPU is inside and probably wouldn't notice anyway. If it runs OS X and can run all your apps then whats the big deal?
