The Register: PowerPC G5 to hit 2GHz (Update)
»Motorola is pushing ahead with the design of the PowerPC 7500 -
aka G5 - company sources have claimed, according to a report over at
MacOS Rumors.
We're sure they are, but we're not so sure the report's claims are
entirely accurate except in a very broad sense. The report's information
is a little too close to the details displayed on Motorola's last publicly
released roadmap, dating back to September 1999.
According to the report, the G5 will boast speeds of 2GHz and up,
"full-performance backward-compatibility", 512KB of on-die L2 cache a new
memory architecture and a modular design allowing the company to offer
multi-core chips. It will be fabbed at 0.1 micron using silicon-on-insulator
construction.«
