It's not out of context. PowerVR advertises the SGXMP series as a multi-core solution: http://www.imgtec.com/News/Release/index.asp?NewsID=449

"The technology, henceforth POWERVR SGX543MP, is being delivered to customers in SGXMP2 (two-core) to SGXMP16 (16-core) variants."

I like to think of myself as more technologically aware than an average consumer, and I've never heard of PowerVR. The manufacturers of graphics hardware I do know never use cores in their marketing.
