Calumet has what could be the new 5D in their new pdf advertisement. Others are saying it's just the old one. I agree with them that it looks like the old one. Here is the link:
The AF is taken care of by an entirely separate sensor near the top of the Viewfinder prism, IIRC.
So the answer: No.
And man this thread devolved quickly for a while. BTW guys, double posting is really really stupid. If you misspell something or have something else to add, simple edit your post! Sick of all these double posts... also, typing in all CAPS is pretty annoying. Stop yelling!

Kevin, thx for the info about the AF sensor. I need to restate my question:
I assume there is a NEED for more accurate AF when you use bigger MP. A subject slightly out of focus might be OK for a given print size, but when cropped (and printed at the same size) could become unacceptable.
In effect, cropping just reduces the circle of confusion. So here I am again w/ my silly question: does anybody know if Canon adjusts the AF accuracy as it cranks up MP?
This could be real good news for the ones (like me) who hope for better AF

I am a little suspicious about the authenticity of this article.

. I never thought of that. You could be right.
