My Moto Map
Ok, I did this just for fun so don't flame me with how retarded this is (if you must, that?s fine too)
I took the moto map and added dates. I did this by evenly spacing each year with when each chip was released, in order to "Predict" the future.
My three points of "origin" were, ?91 = 601, early?97 = G3, and mid?99 = G4.
Remember, this was just for fun!

But keep in mind that Moto always is behind schedule.
<strong>Hm....interesting

If they are "always" behind schedule, this graph makes up for that. See how each of the grey columns are equally spaced? From 91 to 2007.
Great job, Blizaine. If this is as right-on as it seems, then we ought to see a G5 by March (MWTY).
this roadmap coming from motorola exists since the days of the 603e and 604 !!! why didn't they plan further on generation 7? for me, it seems that motorola has either stopped to show off their future-plans to everyone or they will stop the development on PPC-processors soon after the G6 is ready.
what do you think about that?
<strong>Can anyone verify the dates with the chip releases? Like the G3 in 97 and the G4 in July or so of 99? Or did their graphics shift to make more room for the text?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Check the press release library on the apple site:
<a href="http://www.apple.com/pr/library/" target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/pr/library/</a>
But that is useless as intel are working on the Terrahertz transistor, that they are planning to introduce from 2005 onwards, 'apparentely'. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
YOu see it all makes sense, like <a href="http://www.architosh.com" target="_blank">architosh</a> almost predicts now.
<strong>Then the above map isn't accurate following those above Apple history links. The G3 came out in Nov of 97, yet the graph indicates it came out in Jan. So maybe the years line up or maybe it's all just coincidence</strong><hr></blockquote>
ooops
