Intel would like to use P-Rating

AMD has been using the P-Rating for quite a while now. The denomination of the processors isn't based on the frequency of the core itself, but on the frequency of the Intel chip of the equivalent power.
Intel might be about to do the same. It must be taken into account that inside the range of Intel processors, some of them are more powerful than others at same speed. And this will be still more true with the release of the 64bits processors.
This adoption will bother AMD, who will have to adapt the way they name their CPUs. But it might be a great opportunity for Apple. If it apply the same rating to the G5, then it won't be necessary any more to throw a poor guy across the walls to show how powerful the new Powermac is.
