Freescale (Motorola's chip division) has launched the 90nm G4, and is planning a dual core version for next year. The chip is faster -- over 1.5GHz -- and cooler than the old chip, but it is also pin compatible.

At this glorious moment I'd like to remind people for one thing:

This 7448 was announced to be available at the First Half of next year.. and we all know how well these predictions tend to hold on various companies.. So in Earliest it would be on mass production next spring and most likely Apple will grab them all for their Laptops untill production volumes Ram up enough ... It may be 3 months, half year etc..

So Realisticly.. 7448:s for Aones are at least year away.. Unless of course they can get some industry muscle co-operating with them. Companies that are industry leaders on their own field and are doing active development on this same area, like Marvell, Freescale (who makes these CPU:s, btw, are having this SNDF right now, are Aone-people attending?) etc..

7447A, OTOH might be possible in few months.. It's around 1.2Ghz and quite capable chip when combined to effective bridge/memory controller. But it would need next generation Artica northbridge (=better heat tolerance and 166Mhz FSB) to be usefull.
