At 1.42GHz, the chip consumes 20W of power, Motorola claims, which compares well to the 7447's 21.3W at 1.33GHz. The company also mentions a lower power version of the 7447A that consumes less than 9.3W at 1.167GHz, which seems no better than the old 7447's claimed 7.5W at 1GHz. The low-power 7447A has a core voltage of 1.1V; the regular 7447A runs at 1.3V.

    Oh boy, 1.5 GHz. I think people will be complaining (and have reason to) if the next PowerBook update is anywhere below 1.6 GHz.



    Oh yeah, and... +1
