MacWeek reports that IBM href="http://macweek.zdnet.com/2000/06/11/0613more ppc.html">gave some more details of the 750CX (350-550mhz) and 750CXe (500-700mhz) at href="http://www.chipanalyst.com/epf/">the Embedded Processor Forum 2000.
"Peter Sandon, Senior PowerPC Processor Architect for IBM Microelectronics and the architect of the 750CX processor, said the new chips were designed for high-end embedded and desktop systems--possibly including Macs, though that decision depends on Apple, one of IBM's major PowerPC customers."
Of note, the new chips contain only 256k of on-chip L2 cache, and provides no pinouts for off-chip L2 cache. The smaller size of the 750CX's mean lower production costs.
