Motorola MPC7457 and MPC7447

Motorola announced the MPC7457 and MPC7447 today:



    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.

apple...if your gonna do it, only do it to bridge the gap between now and the 970 otherwise SCREW MOTO!

wait...nevermind there not gonna be available until 4th quarter...and only in 1ghz??? what the!!...thats so sad

look: production expected to commence in Q4 2003. Suggested retail pricing for the MPC7457 at 1 GHz is expected to be $189 (USD) in quantities of 10,000.

Weren't these supposed to be the first ones to support DDR on the FSB?

(I guess not)


(BTW: The "1st post" comments were cute the 1st 100000000 times :rolleyes: )

Hmmm... no 4MB L3 cache? That had been expected for some time. Can anyone think of any reasons for the lack of even the support of a 4MB L3 cache?

I would guess that Moto doesn't see a demand for that in the embedded application market. (I also have absolutely no knowledge about that market ;) )

[edit] ... It sure seems like they could care less about the desktop market. [/edit]

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 didn't see any mention about the bus speeds.

They probably wanted to downplay that little tidbit of information.

At least Moto's using 130 nm and SOI.

I would hazard a guess that these particular chips will only be for imbeded applications, not for computers.
