Right. Back when Keller and Dobberpuhl were at P.A. Semi, I was waiting for them to IPO so I could invest... very low power 64-bit dual-core PPC chips from a few of the key Alpha people seemed just what Apple needed to solve their problems with IBM not being able to get the G5 power consumption down low enough for laptops. I was disappointed when Apple switched to x86 instead, and a few years later, Apple acquired P.A. Semi, which I believe became the bulk of Apple's mobile processor team. If rumor is to be believed, it really is too bad that Ken Olsen refused to drop margins and increase volume on the Alpha in order to create a scaled down version for Apple back when Apple was looking to leave the m68k architecture.
