That was the point of my post. Yes. :)

I kind of got the idea that you were separating the two. "Apple and PCs."

I was for easier understanding in separating the two. But, if you came to the conclusion after reading my post going: "Wait.. Apple uses the same Intel CPU as PCs.. the CPU is the heart of the computer that does everything, so that means that Apple are PCs too". Then you have understood everything, and there is no performance difference. At least, at the hardware level. Driver and OS will determine the rest, which is something that is very difficult to determine.

Also, I needed to separate them to talk about the history. I didn't want to use PowerPC vs Intel's x86 for simplicity. People associated PowerPC with Apple, Intel x86 with PCs.

I am not doing a university class here, this is a forum. I take advantage of that by removing lots of details, using easy to understand/relate terminologies, to better understand things.
