The 7448 is not the very best choice for desktop usage. Its L2 cache is double sized, which is quite good, but the overall performance is somehow a bit crippled (crippled is a bit too harsh, more precise: It does not fullfill the expectations). Theory is nice, practise is another issue.
The 7447A indeed has a better price/power ratio, also the 7448 at high frequencies is quite expensive.
Ever wondered why Apple skipped the 7448? Well they *had* reasons (no, I do not mean the x86 switch...).
The 7448 is more suited for classic embedded solutions. Also it is more a strategic step during the evolution towards the 8641 (which performs very, very good according to first tests). It was the provement of the new e600 core.
Not a bad processor at all, but also not the holy grail.
