These recent talks with Intel prove it. Apple has shown frustration with IBM over the fact that:

They have not been able to get the G5 into the powerbook. This means that they will have to switch to something like Centrino, which is solely an Intel technology. The fact that Apple is talking with Intel more recently proves that their will be no Powerbook G5 anytime soon. IBM has no mobile processor to compete with Centrino.

Also, apple is dissapointed with the slow speed increase of the G5 processor. When it was introduced two years ago at 2GHZ, Jobs said that the processor would reach 3 GHZ by the years end. Here we are 2 years later, and we are just getting to 2.7GHZ.

Why is IBM so far off the ball?
