Xbox and PowerPC Speculation
eeTimes provides from more details about the upcoming PowerPC chip that was announced to power the upcoming Xbox revision.
One analyst, Rick Doherty, provides speculation that "IBM is likely to modify its most advanced 'G5' PowerPC silicon.... reducing the cache and cutting power consumption". The Xbox 2 is predicted to be announced at the International Consumer Electronics Show in January 2004, with shipments in 2004/2005.
According to eWeek, the relative ease of converting an Xbox into a cheap/low-end PC may be part of the decision to switch from Intel.
