| One thing about Power4, Power5 series is that they are designed to deliver the best performance for any price; these chips are not designed for the desktop..
The G4, G5 are cut down versions of the Power series of chips, are the chips considered for desktop, so if a PowerPC G6 comes that the chip what we need for AmigaOS.

| Nice to see the successor to the Wii has an upgrade path that will allow it to still be compatible with the Gamecube as well!
Nintendo FTW! |

| NutsAboutAmiga:
Power5 has no cheap cut-down version. G5 comes
from the Power4 series.
The G4 is a design by Motorola and I don't think it
has anything at all to do with IBM's Power-CPUs.
It's more likely to come from the old 600-series than
Power. |

| that's the internal bandwith of all buses (L3 cache, memory, nodes, I/O) combined - bandwith to memory is "only" 75 GB/s. |

| I could be working on one soon, we are supposed to be getting a 560, but it may be a 570, which is the first box to have the Power 6 chips. The 595 is up to 64 way Power 5 box, can you imagine the speed of that thing with 64 4.7 Ghz Power 6 chips
