The rumors are true: Intel will be inside (the Mac) according to the 
MacWorld WWDC coverage:

As the Intel logo lowered on the stage screen, Jobs said, "We are 
going to make the transition from PowerPC to Intel processors, and we 
are going to do it for you now, and for our customers next year. Why? 
Because we want to be making the best computer for our customers 
looking forward."

"I stood up here two years ago and promised you 3.0 GHz. I think a 
lot of you would like a G5 in your PowerBook, and we haven't been 
able to deliver that to you," said Jobs. "But as we look ahead, and 
though we've got great products now, and great PowerPC products still 
to come, we can envision great products we want to build, and we 
can't envision how to build them with the current PowerPC roadmap," 
said Jobs.

Intel processors provide more performance per watt than PowerPC 
processors do, said Jobs. "When we look at future roadmaps, mid-2006 
and beyond, we see PoweRPC gives us 15 units of perfomance per watt, 
but Intel's roadmap gives us 70. And so this tells us what we have to 
do," he explained.
