Arstechnica has a MacAch forum with a really good "perpetual future CPU" thread tht covers this in great technical detail. I don't understand all of it but it makes for good reading if you're interested.
The short answer is that the multi-core gamebox PPCs are very simple compared to the PPC 970, but they bode well for IBM's fabbing abilities. But you reall must read the thread yourself since there's no way I can summarize it well.
