A 2.5GHz version of IBM's new PowerPC 970FX, featured in the Xserve G5 and presumably in future Power Mac G5 systems, will be announced next week at the International Solid State Circuits Conference, according to c|net. The chip is manufactured utilizing IBM's new 90nm processing, reducing the chip's need for power, among other advantages. "It's logical that Apple would select the flexibility of this chip for a next-generation notebook computer," Richard Doherty, research director at Envisioneering, told Reuters, hinting at the possibility of a PowerBook G5





Interesting news, though I'm skeptical about seeing a G5 Powerbook before MWSF 2005, and even that I'm not convinced of. Apple tends to take their time with these Powerbooks (or R&D just costs a lot and takes forever), so I don't think a chip will necessarily indicate any immediate forthcoming.

    The English aren't too bad once you get to know them.



    Y'know, this 'hax' talk is making me feel ancient. What's up with plain English? I'm all for creativity but...
