Since about 1988, Apple has never,, to my knowledge, introduced new
technology without it being widely known to Apple watchers two years
in advance.  I watch MAE fairly closely; I do not think they have an
internal version which runs on x86.  I have heard of a project that
they're working on that people could easily confuse with x86 but is
exceedingly different.
