Is there any news about Dual Core G4 / G5?


8641/D "super G4"

IBM "G6"

Quote
What is the clock speed and heat output?


8641/D will run pretty cool, how cool depends on number of cores & clock speed.
G6 is likely to run considerably hotter.

Is this dual core CPU compatible with AmigaOne, Pegasos or MicroA1?


No, you'll need completely new boards.
Genesi look like they are doing an 8641/D board.

No idea what Amiga/Eyetech are planning.


IBM also have the an as yet unnamed low-power 64 bit PowerPC chip.
It's serving as the PPE in the Cell and is likely to appear as a single chip (can you say PowerBook?).
I suspect the same core will appear in the X-Box2 and next gen Nintendo console.
