Motorola MPC7457 and MPC7447
The newest and fastest members of the Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) G4 family of PowerPC processors, the MPC7457 and MPC7447, are now available. The devices run at speeds up to 1.3 GHz, making them the highest performing G4 host processors available for embedded applications.
The MPC7457 and MPC7447 can perform at 1 GHz while consuming less than 10 Watts, making them ideal for high-performance, power dissipation-sensitive applications such as network control plane processing.

[edit] ... It sure seems like they could care less about the desktop market. [/edit]
They probably wanted to downplay that little tidbit of information.
At least Moto's using 130 nm and SOI.

I notice this press release said these were the newest and fastest G4's yet they only go 1.3 ghz. dont we have a powermac at 1.42ghz so how could these be the fastest?the article also stated that they scaled up to 1.3. If this is so then i dont seeing this as the chip to move the powermacs into the future. Anyone say 970!
I would hazard a guess that these particular chips will only be for imbeded applications, not for computers.
