At character generation does the increased Intelligence from Cerebral boosters grant the extra points towards Languages and Knowledge skills as they are part of the creation process or the original un-altered stat?

well, first off - there is a string for character creation questions, but i'll answer this one...although you won't like the answer...
the answer is NO - the reason is that at character creation, you cannot have cultured bioware, which includes Cerebral Boosters. Therefore, the second part of your question is not relevant...
however, for others out there - if you have a piece of bioware that you have obtained (legally) at character creation that raises an Attribute, it affects any skills based on that Attribute as normal. this is because in M&M pg 77, bioware is treated as a change to the base Attribute.
a prime example would be Synthacardium, where each level adds 1 to your Athletic skill...
