macminute never has rumors...i would say this nails it, but we shall see soon

i especially like this line in the cnet article:
To make the new PowerPCs, IBM is combining layers of silicon on insulator (SOI) and strained silicon. Together, the two technologies allow manufacturers to improve energy efficiency or performance: They can either make processors that run as fast as current models but consume far less power; or they can produce chips that use the same amount of power but run at higher clock speeds
fast, hotter chips in the PM
slower, cooler chips in the PB??
