IBM Processor Yields
Even so, IBM claims that it is close to resolving these yield issues which Apple has pointed to as a reason for shipping delays for the Xserve G5.
IBM's chip yields "are not quite where we would like them to be," said John Kelly III, senior vice president and group executive of IBM's Systems and Technology Group. "Lately, our defect densities have improved quite rapidly. We expect to do a better job to meet the demand of our customers," he said during a conference call on Wednesday (May 12).

Maybe they're trying to reach the promised 3Ghz...
That is accurate, however they currently have only been able to produce 3 chips running at 1ghz... apple is in the process of welding these 3 together to make a prototype 3ghz G5 for WWDC.

so a dual 3 GHz machine would actually have 6 cpu's :p
I just hope I'm not disappointed in June - waiting a whole year for an upgrade seems a bit much....I hope its worth the weight.

Just a prototype, or will it be an actual product by WWDC? (Will you be able to buy it)
