The 750GX will be offered at up to 1.1GHz and has 1MB of L2 Cache (Twice the 750FX) as well as various architectural improvements -- and is pin compatible with the 750FX.
The PowerPC 750GX processor is sampling in July 2003 with production targetted in December 2003.
- Manufactured in IBMs advanced 0.13-micron copper process with Silicon-on-Insulator technology, the 750GX will be offered at frequencies up to 1.1 GHz. The 750GX expands the capabilities of the IBM PowerPC 7xx processor family to support more performance-demanding and power-sensitive applications. The new processor is ideally suited for a variety of systems, including networking, communications, storage, imaging, computing and consumer applications.
The 750GX will be offered at up to 1.1GHz and has 1MB of L2 Cache (Twice the 750FX) as well as various architectural improvements -- and is pin compatible with the 750FX.

So if I read this right, the chip could be used as a chip-to-chip replacement for the 750X? In other words, a quick and painless upgrade for your existing iBook, or buy a new one and reap the benefits either way.
If I understand, then cool. If I don't (which wouldn't suprise me...) then too bad. I'm always game at keeping the legacy machines alive for that much longer.

Sweet. Zippier iBooks just in time for MWSF04.
Upgradeability of older iBooks would be highly unlikely.
