"It sounds like good news, but being as you can get a 3+Ghz X86 chip ... how fast will x86 be running when these PPC chips come out? Some where at 6 to 10GHZ? Maybe more?"
If schedules do not fail too badly, there should be PPC980 @ 3Ghz available year from now.
And if Alan Redhouse wins in lottery a few times, we might see PPC970 on A2 already in y2005??? :-P
