Any news about any OS4-capable hardware?

No, still no hardware to buy.

Nope.. The latest news is that the samantha is still on schedule for 2007 q1 release.

Maybe someone can look at the now released PA-SEMI processors:

Each chip is a single FP piped PowerPC that can issue three instructions per clock vs 5 for the PPC970 family. It should be similar on Int and and a little better on FP though, a lot of this is due to the large caches. They are full 64-bit PPC, support virtualisation, and would do Alitvec but that name is copyrighted by Freescale. Instead they do 'VMA'.
The three parts run at a max wattage of 25, 15 and 10W for the 2.0, 1.5 and 1.0GHz parts respectively, with typical wattage listed at 13, 8 and 6W. The individual cores are said to have a 7W max and 4W typical power consumption at 2.0GHz.
and a picture of the near-single-chip motherboard with DDR2, PCIe, etc. Mass production in Q4, so plenty of time to get a design together.
