The PowerPC was developed jointly by IBM, Motorola, and Apple. It

The Pentium, OTOH, is just a buggy stale architecture that's been
wedged and rewedged into new chip technologies just so the clock
could be cranked up. Clock-speed aside, it's a POS no matter how you
view it.
I haven't seen anything to indicate that the Intel Duo, as Apple calls
it,
is a Pentium or x86. Intel makes lots of different processors for
different
markets and applications.
Is this new processor indeed a Pentium-type element?
Yes, it is in the x86/pentium line.
