A measure of what a good move it was I reckon is that when they announced this move, IBM stocks went down 63 cents instantly.

It's also a measure of how irrational the stock market is - Apple's chips are just 2% of IBM's total chip business - i can't see how dropping a just-breaking-even chip supply contract is a bad move?
i think a big part of the move is to get faster chips for the laptops (as the overall market for laptops is growing faster thant the OEM desktop/workstation market).
If you've tried to use a powerbook on your lap for extended periods of time, you'd appreciate a cooler running machine
