After doing some digging while everybody discussed what I wanted (:P
don't take offense, just poking fun) I was able to find something on
ADC. This seems like the most reliable method, but I see no
documentation on Intel so I'm swinging in the dark as I have a PPC.
dim res as integer
if system.gestalt("sysa",res) then
if res = 2 then
// PowerPC
else
// Intel
end
end
I'm also aware that this would report an 68k chip as an Intel. Since
I don't know the Intel code (3 maybe?) and RB doesn't support 68k
anymore, this seems like a moot point.
Still looking for the right constant though.

I agree, and wondered the same thing. But Thom was specifically
asking for chip not compiled platform info.
And in a later posting he explains that he wants to know, from his
PPC app, whether the runtime system could take advantage of the
Intel code in a Universal Binary. So it turns out he was more
interested in the chip, than the platform info. The Targetxyz
constants would not give him that info.
