The only thing I don't like is the probable lack of AltiVec. Otherwise great news, even if the price is not what we wanted.
Yep, the processors Trevor is considering (P5020 & P5040) lack AltiVec instructions.
There planed successors (T5020 & T5040) return them (even improve on them).
But the processors Trevor is considering already exist (at up to 2.2 GHz).
