IBM Delivering 90nm Chips?
According to this Electronics Weekly article, IBM is about to begin delivering 90nm chips to Apple:
Unclear is the significance of the "SOC" (System-on-Chip) -- whether this represents any new information, or somehow simply refers to the 970 chip.
The Xserve G5s utilize the 90nm PowerPC 970 and is scheduled to begin shipment in February.

Assuming this first volume shipment is for the Xserve and Power Macs, how long do you think it will take Apple to get them onto logic boards and in stores? Two weeks, three?
