From an article describing the Yonah dual core CPU for notebooks:
Processor analysts and chip enthusiasts have turned their noses up at Intel's initial Pentium D design, labeling it inelegant compared to AMD's dual-core chips.
The difference between the dual-core Pentium D processor and Yonah is also quite stark, Eden said in response to a reporter's question.
"You are asking me what is the difference between a microprocessor and a donkey," he said.
Question is, if Pentium-D is a donkey, what does that make the PPC970?
Monday is going to be an interesting day. CNet says Apple switches to Intel. eWeek says "help is on the way".
All I want is for my next laptop to have a microprocessor (not a donkey) in it, and to run OS X.
