OK, but so what? WHo cares about "most"? That's basically penalizing Intel for having both high-end and low-end equipment available. Who cares if there are also a lot of low-end machines... that's a different market niche. Its mostly irrelevant to the issue of high-end machines.
The "average intel machine" is a meaningless, or at least useless, construct. (sigh) The dangers of reification... The only time I can see anyone want to talk like that is correcting some idiot manager who has beliefs about an "average intel machine".
