In what way were Apple behind on performance at the end of the Intel era? They were shipping the same chips as everyone else and were getting similar performance and battery benchmarks as other brands (Dell, HP) in that same generation of processor.

Since printing and graphics were one of Apple's largest markets, they were better positioned in that market with good floating point performance. It's also the reason that Apple showed off Mac vs. PC Photoshop performance so frequently in that time period.
