    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!

Which is going to be further compounded by the fact that IBM is now producing the CPU for the new XBox, the new Nintendo console and the PlayStation 3.

If Apple thought they had supply problems before, just give it six months!
