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.

The 7448 is pin compatible with existing G4s, the other chips (8641D etc.) are not, they are ceramic (Mil Spec!) monsters with >900 pins.


One of these and a South bridge (no North Bridge required) and you'll have a machine pretty much the same as PC specs.
