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.

While the new iPad mini has an OLED display, the device does not support ProMotion, meaning the display's refresh rate is limited to 60Hz instead of 120Hz.
ProMotion support would have allowed for the iPad mini's refresh rate to automatically adjust from 10Hz to 120Hz depending on the content being displayed, but evidently Apple has kept the feature exclusive to the iPad Pro among iPad...
