As it seems this article was posted by Ben Yoris

What we saw last Sunday was a pre-production board based on the TeronCX with ArticiaS and a PPC G3 CX clocked at 500 Mhz


Either he doesn't know what he is talking about or their is
a difference to the final board.

This was due to X11 and the fact that the OS doesn't activate the G3's second level cache.


Linux has been running on G3-Macs for years so i doubt that
they couldn't fix that cache-problem. Either the (IBM)-cpu is
different to the ones used in Macs or it a lousy Linux-distro.

The only resource-hungry SW i see in the pictures is Netscape,
which i have been running on a K6/233 without having any
 trouble in moving windows.

Again either its a lousy kind of Linux or there is a problem
with HW.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Forget that about the 500mhz cpu !
He knew what he was talking about and there will be
some
changes in the final version (600mhz/ethernet).
