I read something about this somewhere else... can't remember where, but the gist of it was that the G4+ should have been the G5, but they decided to scrap RD and just improve on the present design instead.
This is nothing new. in the x86 world, they've been doing it for years. If you look at it logically though, this is the clearly the easiest transition into 64 bit PPC planned by IBM.
a 2.4 ghz G4 would definately put PPC back in the game.. if it were here NOW. IBM and Motorola need to step things up if they plan to stay in the CPU market.
