According to a story on slashdot,

/"According to C|Net, Apple has officially decided to drop IBM 
<http://news.com.com/Apple+to+ditch+IBM%2C+switch+to+Intel+chips/2100-1006_3-5731398.html?tag=nefd.lede>, 
and will use Intel processors starting in their '06 line of systems. 
This change was rumored last month 
<http://apple.slashdot.org/apple/05/05/23/1052218.shtml?tid=118>. The 
announcement is expected Monday at Apple's Worldwide Developer 
Conference in San Francisco, at which Chief Executive Steve Jobs is 
giving the keynote speech."/ From the article: /"Apple successfully 
navigated a switch in the 1990s from Motorola's 680x0 line of processors 
to the Power line jointly made by Motorola and IBM. That switch also 
required software to be revamped to take advantage of the new 
processors' performance, but emulation software permitted older programs 
to run on the new machines."/
