One of the interesting things about these systems is that the early versions (like shown in the ads), didn't have a single CPU chip package. The CPU was on a card and was comprised of various chips and circuitry that you could see (not all hidden on the inside of a single CPU package). It was not until the P2SC (Power2 Super Chip) that everything made its way onto a neat and compact CPU form factor that we typically think of. This P2SC was first made available IIRC on the 7013 Model 595.
