Obvisuly it would be completely unreasonable and impossible to put a triple core, 3.2 GHz G5 in a console.
I repeat it again: this processor and the PM G5 are only very distant relatives
care to provide some proof of that?

By the specs that have been released it appears to be very similar to the G5, even down to each core having its own altivec unit. If its equivalent to a 1.8Ghz G5 i'd imagine they would have saved the costs and just used that.
