You won that title long, long, long ago. No one can compete with you

You shouldn't be arguing with him then.

You're the turkey pal. The yonah chip is the newest offering and latest
tech in dual core and newer than even the G5 and lower in power
consumption. Why do you think it first appeared in the new MacBook
rather than the towers? Because the Towers hold their own, for the
moment productivity/performance wise but the powerbooks were lacking due
to IBM/Freescale's lack of investment in a current, low-power chip and
Yonah fills that need and increases performance over older chips used in
these Mac products.
