This is assuming that the Pentium Pro is running 32 bit >apps (ie Spec95 benchmarks etc). The Pentium Pro's maybe faster in some respect, but they don't compete with the powerPC chips when it comes to production costs. In the end Intel will have to reduce their massive transistor count if they hope to remain competitive with the other cpu producers.
