Thinksecret reports that Antares will be at 3 Ghz. That apple has recieved a number of protypes of both the 970 MP and GX. They plan to end testing at the end of January which we might see the 970 MP in the Powermacs around spring. TS also says the MP might find its way to Pbooks but, most likely and reports still hold strong that the G5 mobile will go in there instead and top out at 2 Ghz.
Confidential documents pertaining to the development of IBM's future single-core PowerPC 970GX and dual-core 970MP processors, code-named Antares, obtained by Think Secret, reveal that Apple has already received a number of prototypes of the processor. Apple is also expected to wrap up Process Verification Testing of the 970MP around the end of January, meaning systems featuring the processor could be ready as early as the Spring including, possibly, the long-awaited PowerBook G5. However, sources continue to report that IBM is working to develop other low-power 970-series processors topping out around 2GHz that could find their way into future PowerBooks instead. Antares will debut at 3GHz.
