Watson - RE: "The PPCs Motorola delivered to Apple for their G4s appear to be from a .25um technology and NOT .18um as they previously advertized. It's a 1.8V process (10.5 million devices) at 83mm2. The G3 predecessor from IBM was 40mm2 (6.5 million devices) in .25um technology."

Why does the G4 cost so much more than the Athlon and PIII at the same MHz if it is about the size of the K6-2?

And is it that small compared to the Athlon and PIII because it is a RISC chip?
