    IBM... hello... is this thing on?

Apple's had dual (and quad) core PowerPC silicon since the late nineties. They just don't actually put them into machines outside Apple's R&D labs. I can't imagine they'd be easier to manufacture than the single core CPUs, and IBM already has enough problems supplying those!

Have fun,
