The spec's I don't think tell the story here. It's going to come down to price and marketing. Intel still has some very strong brand recognition with their 'intel inside' campaign, and though most people don't actively look for intel chips when buying a computer, they do recognize when the computer they are buying has it, and it makes them feel comforted (much like McAfee or Norton etc. etc) The hardware manufacturers will build on a competitive price point. I suspect Moto's dedication to Intel was driven more by price than by performance. Not to say that I don't believe intel will perform, and I also disgree with the article, and I think javascript performance is hugely important to the end user.
