Considering what they're shipping with their latest generation iMacs, i'm not surprised -- I mean with OS X and the built in cameras on the iMacs, they've now got videoconferencing on H.264 on their OS by default... I believe also that OS X was also one to move all the GUI processing to the graphics card (similar to how Windows Vista plans to do the same when/if it comes out, either now, or in it's sucessor).
Do note that current Intel PCs are shipping with single-core 2GHz processors (low end), single-core 3GHz processors (mid-end) or dual-core 2.4 GHz processors (high-end). I could be totally wrong, though. That all said, IIRC, movie editing is a lot worse, usually - especially if you're going for something with a nice-looking GUI. You probably could get by with a bit less, but it'd be unstable and/or slow.
