"...G4 with Altivec is debuing at 400 Mhz which is what was demoed at the IEEE conf this earlier this year...."

Rich,

I've seen that 400 MHz number bandied about quite a bit. I suspect that it may be accurate for embedded applications, but doubt it will fly with Apple for its desktop machines. You may be right about Apple management being unhappy with MOT on this, so the leaks could be just a way to prod the Schaumberg crowd.

By the time AltiVec sees the light of day, regular PPCs should be checking in at 600 MHz. Introducing and selling a 400 MHz G4 at that time could be a advertising/PR nightmare.
