Here's another tidbit about the Mot technology. This is the next generation of the Altivec enhanced PPC. Note also that Apple uses these CPUs and has migrated to a Unix kernal OS referred to as OS X. One of their recent ads highlighted the export restriction on the CPUs due to National Security Risk. Caution note also that the link and article is from a rumor site. - HerbVic PowerPC G5 performance 'stunning' - sources By Tony Smith Posted: 18/10/2001 at 11:01 GMT Motorola's PowerPC 8500 - aka the G5 - continues to move steadily toward its scheduled release, our Apple sources tell us. The G5 is the next major version of the PowerPC architecture and includes a new internal bus structure, a longer, ten-stage instruction pipeline, redesigned integer and floating-point maths units. It will be offered in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and fabbed using silicon-on-insulator technology at 0.13 micron That said, it may still require active cooling - at 1.4GHz, the processor draws 26W, which is quite a bit in PowerPC terms. The current PowerPC 7450 draws up to 17W at 533MHz. <end excerpt> theregister.co.uk
