There is a good thread at Appleinsider that discusses why AMD will not be Apple's route. To sum it up, Apple will not benefit by gaining parity in speed with X86 platform be it Intel or AMD, due to upgrade issues and OSX hack issues on X86. Bottome line, Apple loses out on selling Mac boxes, which the company does best and exist for (as well as selling a cool OS and nice iApps) If Apple became a CPU focused company, they, may sell some CPU upgrades but, we know what Apple's foray in to CPU upgrade led to. More importantly, Apple becoming CPU focused company may sell CPU's but not more Mac boxes.
