The PPC chips did calculate faster than the old P2s and P3s, they had lower clock speeds, yes, but they actually performed faster. And Apple wasn't the only company behind the PowerPC chip. They were made by Motorola, IBM and Apple. Apple switched to Intel chips when Core came out, because IBM and Motorola were taking the PowerPC project in one direction that Apple didn't think was working. Its an interesting thing, the PPC to Intel transition. People had very mixed opinions about it.
This was aired exactly a week after Pentium II started their campaign with the men in those Pentium suits assembling computers with the new processor while singing "Disco Fever" and proclaiming it was much better
So, one week later, at the same time, Apple aired this commercial with that incredibly musical answer "Disco Inferno" (Burn, baby, burn)
It was the end of the Pentium campaign. In fact, that other ad is nowhere to be found!
Watch some old Apple keynotes where they had benchmarks, they even did tests live to prove it wasn't fixed.
I'm a Mac fanboy? Your the biggest fucking Intel fanboy I've ever met. Don't worry, when they die I'll be laughing at you and dancing on their fucking grave.
Apple went to Intel to get the NOW faster processors & so they could fit a fast/cooler running chip into the thin notebook line they have been famous for. IBM Power PC just ran out of gas. But back in the day it smoked the Pentium! Thus this ad.
Thay never got burnt The G5 was their last chip and is was still better than intel's chips. The reason why they switch is because IBS promised apple alot of things but they wern't delivering on their promises so Apple decided to make the switch . Also the intel core chip runs much cooler then the power pc chips

@embolicat it's not "disco fever" but "play that funky music" - wild cherry. Or am I wrong ?

There is a great story behind this ad:
This was aired exactly a week after Pentium II started their campaign with the men in those Pentium suits assembling computers with the new processor while singing "Disco Fever" and proclaiming it was much better
So, one week later, at the same time, Apple aired this commercial with that incredibly musical answer "Disco Inferno" (Burn, baby, burn)

Well done, Apple!

@embolicat Yet it's funny how a Pentium II is still useable yet a Power"PC" mac is now a brick since apple dropped all support for them.

Only the CPU. Macs still use the system resources more efficiently than Windows.

Everyone knows PPC toasted the shit out of Intel back in the 90's. If you can't admit that then your in denial.
