The first devolper kits contained underclocked Intel quad-core, hyperthreading processors to simulate 8 core single-threaded Jaguar chips as closely as possible. Makes that linked reference somewhat worthless...
Also the GPU in the Orbis runs at 800MHz (and probably is something like "the bus master"). Hooking a 1.6GHz processor onto the bus is simple, hooking an "oddly clocked" 1.8 or 2.0GHz processor not so...
