Also remember that the article said that the quad-core models went up to 2.53 GHz in clock speed. They may start at 2 GHz, but like other processors not have only one speed model.


No, this article did not say that. They were referring to other dual processors when they mentioned the 2.53GHz speed.

There does seem to be a QX9300 processor that is quad core and does go as fast as 2.53GHz.

"Intel is, of course, Apple’s exclusive chip supplier"

"Apple, Inc. is currently deriving 39% of it's revenues from the iPhone. Really how long do you expect them to continue with the Macintosh line of computers?"
A long time. What OS does the iPhone run? Oh, yeah... OS X. There is no way they could have spent the money to develop that OS for just a phone. They are positioned very well developing basically one OS with several derivatives for different hardware (computers, iPhones/iPods, AppleTV, etc.).
