On the contrary, the Power line of processors are way ahead of the x86 machines.  Apple switched because IBM had no roadmap to shrink the processors and get thermals down, so when it came to the macbooks, Power processors made no sense.

No.

Intel Core 2 (the dated Intel CPU) win in almost every bench over PowerPC in Apple computes.

"At the risk of repeating some of our earlier comments, the Core 2 Duo-based MacBook Pros outperform the top consumer and pro PowerPC laptops—quite dramatically in the case of the 2.33GHz model."

The PowerPC was too weak for the future of the Apple... the Intel CPU's is today the most advanced CPU in the market (three generations ahed the old Core 2).

The only problem with Intel CPUs is the price... so Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony uses IBM PowerPCs or AMD CPUs because they are cheap.

I just wanted to see a console with a Core i7 22 nm + GTX 680 28nm... GAMER DREAM!!!

I think you should look up more articles about the switch.  Intel CPUs are not better than the Power line, they're quite worse.  IBM just doesn't have any CPU that's good for laptops and they never will.
