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.

In reply to Comment 15 (priest):
AFAIK, I probably bought one of the last remaining A1XEG4/800's ever made. The new A1's will be these micros with G3's that is said to be so much faster than A1 G4. I think it remains to be seen if any more A1XE G4's will ever be built.

This new A1 was announced a long time ago. Only now I actually think they may have something to release in a close future. And it's still ArticiaS with G3, because that is all MAI/Inguard has to offer Eyetech.

I would not hold my breath for any A1 with these new exciting dual-core CPU's from Freescale, especially not if northbridges are rendered "redundant" (MAI is a northbridge manufacturer after all, and their Teron boards (the A1's) are nothing but developer boards for their Northbridge customers (of which Eyetech probably is the only one remaining now!)).

I wouldn't hold my breath for anything from Genesi using these processors either, but at least I think the chances are a lot better there ...
