Matthew writes: Apple filed suit against Motorola today in an attempt to force the chip maker to improve its high-end processor performance.

“The Motorola processors have been flaccid for the last few years. Certainly nothing like Intel’s upcoming Sexium line of processors. We’ve tried counseling, we’ve tried extra hardware to enhance performance, we’ve even done two processors at once to try get some satisfying performance out of these chips. When Motorola’s G4 first started taking Altivec, it clearly helped–that’s why we’re still with the platform, frankly. But it’s time for Motorola to swallow it’s pride and get some professional help. Obviously, we’ve been willing to wear anything to jazz things up, but nothing seems to work.”

Motorola did not release a comment, stating instead that it had to work late.
