1167 MHz 7455s should be available soon...

For all the doom/gloom types...This says nothing about the assumption that Motorola will release new non-7455 CPUs soon. This just means that Motorola is having luck taking the .18µ 7455s to 1167. What that means for .13µ, I don't know...Things could get interesting...

Don't be a turd. If people want to read Ars posts, they can go to Ars. If people want to talk about the URL above, they can talk about it here. If people want to read BadAndy spew, they can go to Ars...or one line quips like "pathetic" and "w3rd," they can go to Ars too...

but seriously
the 0.13 stuff is in Texas now - their main plant . . .
soo . . . we've got some G4++s comin our way at at least 1.2+ Ghz!
. . . right?
133*8.5=1133
133*9=1200
166*7=1167
<strong>Why should I? Man, imagine if CNN had to give a nod to MSNBC for every story MSNBC got first.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Yeah, because you did so much goddamn legwork to track this story down. Please. Nobody is sending you royalties for this.
And if you're going to bring something from Ars over, at the *very* least bring over the BadAndy content with it. And if you bring something over to Ars, bring Programmer and moki info with it.
Without these, it appears that you just want people to blather on aimlessly, so you're probably best off dropping this on Spymac instead.
For those interested, follow from <a href="http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=8300945231&m=3380925925&r= 9800945925#9800945925" target="_blank">here.</a>
Nice of you to post this info here Eugene or I wouldn't have noticed it. I am excited by this. It means progress/ With FireWire 2 I'd buy.

Like that wouldn't happen anyway.....
<strong>1.167 GHz G4s!!!! OMFG, the piss is running down my leg. Gotta go get these jeans off quick!</strong><hr></blockquote>
If the 1.167 7455 chips are no longer being manufactured in the Austin facility then what is being manufactured there currently? 7460? 7470? 7500?

Well, it might have avoided the following ructations:
"soo . . . we've got some G4++s comin our way at at least 1.2+ Ghz!"
"I am excited by this. It means progress/ With FireWire 2 I'd buy."
Faster than 1GHz parts have apparently been available from Mot for some time. The deduction of a 166MHz bus is worthwhile, but then that was mentioned by BadAndy as well. .13 parts at Austin doesn't necessarily mean G4s. It could mean 8500 parts designed for other markets.
It doesn't really mean progress. It doesn't necessarily foretell significant improvement in G4s for Apple. At best it opens the door to a 166 bus.
We all wait for Programmer or moki to restore order to whatever nutty directions I and everyone else has taken a given thread. It seems silly to start a thread that could be reasonably well anchored provided you don't ignore the decent comments by BadAndy.
<strong>this was back when the dual 1ghz's were released and pulled like a week later right?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Not sure, could as well be Motorola having yield problems again.
I post concrete evidence, not the chain of rumors that follow. I'll leave the AI crowd to do that.
Royalties? Why do I have to pay dues to Ars? They do nothing but slander the AI community most of the time. Frig, Mac Achaia exists because a handful of Battlefronteers like me begged and begged with Caesar in the Suggestions forum and in private e-mail for it. I already paid my dues.

But.. can this pre production be due to the fact that this list lists the parts that are moved to the new location in KL, Malaysia and must therefor pass through some pre production test cycle to determine the quality of the new location?
There is a PPC7455RX1067PB though which supposedly is in production at 1067 MHz. That part won't utilize the 166 MHz FSB so it's not much to write home about.
