Motorola once more doing the most minimal amount of work necessary to keep their stock reports sweet?


Sounds like tweaking to get a little more performance out.  Nothing exciting but even this has cost them well over a $million.

Motorola could do high performance devices if they wanted to but thats not their market.

Expect a big speed gain when they do a die shrink.

There are rumours they have a 2.5GHz CPU but it was put "on hold" and Apple went to IBM as a result.

One could try over clocking the new G4 for the potential high clock speed i.e. 1.6Ghz, 1.7Ghz, ‘etc’.


If Apple use these CPUs they'll have higher clock speeds, They get to use special "P" versions...
