ppc.html">gave some more details
of the 750CX
(350-550mhz) and 750CXe (500-700mhz) at href="http://www.chipanalyst.com/epf/">the Embedded

systems--possibly including Macs, though that

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.
