Also, the guy's claim that Apple chips are faster per GHZ got debunked in the comments in numerous places. One example:

As others have already mentioned, there are quite some inaccuracies in this article. Statements like "a Dell laptop processor speed of 1.67 is roughly equivalent to an Apple processor speed of 1.0 ghz" are just nonsensical. A Pentium 4 is slower than a G4 per ghz, but a Pentium M or an Athlon are just as fast, if not faster. For a more balanced comparison, consult

Posting obvious falsehoods just hurts the overall credibility of the article.
I don' think their comparison of Pentium M and apple is very accurate. They have not actually tested the two CPU against each other, they are just evaluating them on paper. But anyway, the point is RISC design (aka apple) is SUPERIOR to CISC design (intel). CISC is one of the many *bad* designs which have been survived and pushed through marketing.
