"Each core of the PowerPC 970MP chip will have its own L2 cache of 1MB and will be clocked at about 3.0GHz." ... "Its die will be about 154 square millimetres, only a bit larger compared to today’s AMD Athlon 64 microprocessor." Something isn't adding up. I'm no Computer Engineer but fitting two cores and 2MB of cache on to a 154 square millimetre die seems questionable. As does the 3GHz clock speed.

IT SEEMS THAT ALL PROCESSOR CHIP MANUFACTURERS ARE GOING TO THE DUAL-CORE.IBM,INTEL,AND AMD.BUT APPLE AND ITS FUTURE OPERATING SYSTEM CODE NAMED TIGER. PROMISES MUCH EXCITEMENT TO THE COMPUTER WORLD.O/S-X 10.4
THIS YEAR APPLES STOCK WILL SURELY PASS THE $100.00 PER SHARE MARK.STEVE JOBS AND TEAM ARE RIGHT ON TARGET.HE HAS DONE IT BEFORE AND HE WILL DO IT AGAIN. ESPECIALLY WITH SONY BACKING THEM UP.
OUR FEARLESS LEADER STEVE FROM APPLE STATES THAT THIS IS THE YEAR FOR HIGH DEFINITION. THE COMPUTER INDUSTRY IS ONCE AGAIN LOOKING BRIGHT AND AN EXTREMELY EXCITING YEAR FOR COMPUTER USERS. MORE CHOICES AND MORE POWER.
