I read somewhere a rumor about an Apple Quad

If I re-find the article I'll post it, but I remember that someone had a screen shot of a CPU speed test or some similiar app. and it had check boxes for 4 processors. Anyone know anything about this?
Also a former co-worker (from the job I recently left) just got a new 15" powerbook- He's a PC guy, web designer, network installer, etc. but has wanted to get a mac for a while now and he likes it.
