...Intel being a subset of x86 these days.  Sure, they have the Itanium
II and the Xeon EMT64 chips, but their consumer-grade chips are all x86.

If Apple wanted to move on in to the 64-bit world, the clear choice
would be AMD, with affordable and well-tested x86-64 chips... ones that
actually go in laptops.  :-)

I don't personally think we'll see an x86-64 PowerBook.
