Why AmigaOne still use the old slow G4? [instead of the PPC970]


It could perhaps have something to do with the non-existence of the G5 in 2001 when the ArticiaS and the Teron debuted, and thus the Terons simply cannot support such a beast... But that's just my speculation. ;)

Why IBM had to fire the employees, if their
products are faster and better than Intel CPUs?


If you're talking about the G5, it's slower than what Intel offers. If it's "better" on the whole is of course a question of the intended application of the CPU, among whatever other factors you may want to consider.
Did IBM fire people because of the PPC970's relative slowness and high price compared to x86? Remember that they do offer other products and services too.
