"The rest of the server world can play with their piddling 2-3GHz chips. IBM, meanwhile, is prepared to deal in the 5GHz realm. The hardware maker has unveiled a Power6-based version of its highest-end Unix server - the Power 595. The box runs on 32 dual-core 5GHz Power6 processors, making it a true performance beast. This big box completes a protracted roll out of the Power6 chip across IBM's Unix server line."

Even if Apple had stuck with IBM's CPUs, there would not have been Apple systems with Power6 CPUs (except by a big stretch possibly one of their server models). Just like it cannot be expected for a low end workstation to have a Sun T2 CPU in it. Power6 is for IBM's big iron.
