It is a lower power version of the 7455 SOI process chip that is in the new PowerMacs.

Maybe this means I can get my 800Mhz powerbook in march at MWT.

This is a sad day for Apple. Where the hell is the Apollo? I want my 1Ghz PowerBook!

If you call Apollo the SOI, .18µ version of the G4, then this is Apollo. I believe there are two Apollo's, the 7455 1GHz one and the 7445 low power 800Mhz one.

This is Apollo. We thought it would be 7460, but it's 7455. Apollo = 7450 + SOI = 7455. I doubt you'll have a Ghz PowerBook until they get the size of the chip down, too, but who knows?

[edit: oops, &?]* beat me too it. Or whatever that name is.

If the 7455 really is the Apollo (which I think it is) then this might actualy be a good thing for Apples future PM. Obviously Apollo didnt scale as well as I and many had hoped. But now where is Apple going to go? Is there anything left? This could be the end of the G4 folks. And the only thing left for Apple do to is to serve us a nice helping of G5 just like mom used to make.

Anybody notice that Apple removed the "new" icon next to the TiBook at the Apple store today? I would assume that to mean that it would be the next product to be updated since the iBook, iMac, and PowerMac all have the "new" designation next to them now.

LOL!

As was pointed out in another thread, Apollo formally is probably the 7455 on the 0.13 micron process instead of the 0.18 currently used. Given that the 7445 uses 10W @ 733Mhz maybe the 7460 will use 10W at 1Ghz, maybe less! I'd also like to note that the TiBook at the Apple store has now lost the "new" button. Must be time for new ones! (The PowerMac G4 was the only product without a new button before it was updated.)

So as of now we have...



7450 + SOI + 0.18 = 7455 --&gt; PowerMac (Today)

7440 + SOI + 0.18 = 7445 --&gt; PowerBook (Coming Soon)



We are still waiting for...



7450 + SOI + 0.13 = 7465 --&gt; PowerMac

7440 + SOI + 0.13 = 7460 --&gt; PowerBook

My PC to last one day without D2 freezing or IE 6 wiggen out on me.

Don't forget

7400 + time + money = 8500\t--\tPowerMac (Hopefully some time soon)

7400 + time + money + even more time and money = 8500\t--\tPowerbook (Hopefully this decade)
