This is not really correct. As far as I understand the run a virtualization layer ontop of x86 that provieds these features. On would think that this is not worth it but there JIT and GC are so much better that it is worth it.
This however is not as easy to use as typing "ruby dostuff.rb" or something. You need to run a full virtuall OS.
I do really really hope that Intel does these Hardware changes it would help ever language with GC. (The OS would need to support that too but thats probebly a easyer then getting intel to add the feature)
