It will be fine. If you have to have the latest Intel everything go buy a Dell or a HP or Build your own from Newegg or Frys or TigerDirect. Intel is the most UNinnovative chip company on the planet. Everything they offer is dated and technology of the past. Chips still running on the most bloated architecture and while its not as slow as it was, its still slow. Its all the most unsecure. Still offering dual and quad core chips, barely breached 3Ghz chips, that's 7 years of Intel Innovation for ya. IBM had 3.2Ghz 3 core and 8 core single socket chips (so power was never an issue) in Fall 05/06, had Apple chose the 8 and went halves with Sony you'd have had 16 core cpus in early 2007 running on air.
For all the doubters, the answer is sitting right in front of your face, like it or not most of your self fulfilled dreams of why Apple left IBM for Intel is wrong, its real simple, Steve Jobs wanted to sell laptops, he wanted that more than anything, IBM couldn't cool down they're chips (they are masters of high power computing, not mobile consumer use) Apple approached PA Semi to fill this void with low power RISC POWER chips licensed from IBM, but it wouldn't be shippable until Spring 07, Apple didn't want to wait another year so they chose Intel, Intel's could be stuffed in laptops. Apple bought PA Semi 2 years later, has all the talent and technologies and patents PA Semi owned. 3 yrs Later you have the iPad, running on an Apple RISC chip design by Apple to be made by whoever they choose, shipped in mass volume with near flawless fail rate.
With all the money Apple has they can do a number of things, staying with Intel only holds them back. Look the MacPro hasn't been touched for almost 3 years now, and that's not because Intel's chips are so fast that they need dry Ice to cool it. Intel doesn't need Apple they're in the other 99% of every other consumer computer, that's why there's never much innovation, there's no need because they have no competition. Both companies will be fine without each other, they both survived without each other before, they can do it again. Apple's basically at where Snow Leopard started with OSX and RISC, if they stopped all R&D they day they switched to Intel, clearly they haven't since you have iOS.
I personally can not wait, maybe we can finally get over the bump in the road Apple's currently stuck at with Intel.
