So Much For Jobs' Lie About Intel

"Mayer: Yeah, that's about right. So I sold the G5. First I told IBM that we needed to do it, and then I sold it to Apple that the G5 was good and it was going to be the follow-on of the PowerPC road map for the desktop. It worked pretty well. And then IBM decided not to take the G5 into the laptop and decided to really focus its chip business on the game consoles."
Kudos to IBM for taking the high road and remaining silent while Jobs spewed that garbage about power/heat/performance at the last WWDC.

What is your problem? The article seems to be fairly close agreement with what Apple and Intel have told us about the reasons for Apple's decision to switch.
Mods please send this to general discussion. There's nothing substantive here about future hardware (IMO of course). Or leave it.
IBM - no G5 portable
Intel - we have low power low heat chips which are high performance.
Apple - where do we sign?
Roadmap= Troll + low performance

Huh?
We are consumers. We have the freedom to choose which products we buy. How are we getting what we deserve? Alternatively, don't all consumers get what they deserve?

Exactly. Now pretend to be a hockey player, and get the puck outta here.

He's just mad because his "awesome" X-Box 360 keeps giving him the gray screen of death.

Mmmm .. How's it going to be a trainwreck?
All they have to do is build a bog-standard PC.

The lack of G5 laptop chip, was one of the biggest grip of Apple against IBM. Half of the PC are laptops.
This quote do not prove that Jobs lied. The only important point, is that Jobs considered switching five years ago.
