i don't want to pull a "shawn king", but i'll be very surprised if 
Motorola does anything truly amazing as far as a G5 processor goes - 
would be nice, but IBM seems like the way to go ultimately...  their 
technology appears to be light years ahead of the rest.  Cray is even 
using their ASIC's in the new  Super Computer....

And IBM now make the world's smallest transistors...

it'd shure be nice to have a 4 core "Power 4" 64bit chip with on-die 
cache!!
