No, that's not a valid split. Originally the distinction was PMU for
PowerBooks, Cuda for desktops. There are plenty of old world
PowerBooks with PMUs.
In the New World era Apple just started calling it the PMU regardless
of whether the machine is a portable or not. It always was basically
the same hardware anyways -- a customized version of Motorola's
68HC05 microcontroller. (Newer machines have PMU99 which I hear is
not a 68HC05 any more.)
