Wow, Mark... that's a lot easier than what I was doing:

function isIntel
  put shell("system_profiler SPHardwareDataType") into tData
  put matchText(tData,"(?s)CPU Type:\W*(.*?)\n",tType) into tIsMatch
  if tIsMatch then
    return (tType contains "Intel")
  else
    return "Error: Can't determine CPU type."
  end if
end isIntel

Cool!
