the 'G' designation came from apple marketing. internally neither the 750 nor the 970 projects weren't referred to as 'G'-anything as i recall. the project names officially used were 'arthur' and 'GPUL,' the latter so-called because it was an 'ultra-light' version of GP, a.k.a., gigaprocessor, a.k.a., spinnaker, a.k.a., the POWER4 processor.
dunno the history behind the 750 per se, although i worked with some of the folks from somerset that did; i was around for the tail-end of the 970 effort when POWER6 concept work was getting kicked off.
