Absolutely not. The PowerPC is at least as good as Intel chips.

And, much more importantly: Where do you think Apple gets its revenue 
(still now, even with the iPod)? Almost exclusively from hardware 
Macintosh sales, not from software. If they port OS X to Intel, they 
will just be another PC company having to fight among other 
"commodity" PC cloners. OS X on Intel will never happen.
