So by having the WSJ saying it is true, means it is set in stone? I don't think so. The guy just did it to get attention and possibly help Intel out. Also, while this year we only got a 200 Mhz increase, last year we got a 500 Mhz increase let alone the fact IBM had trouble with the 90 nm process. Every chip maker had problems with it. Also, the 970MP wasn't available for apple so they were forced to use a updated 970FX. The 970MP was suppose to be at 3 Ghz. There is still a good shot for the 970MP to show up this year and only being 1 year late on the promise. Now there are reports of a low power G5 in the works. The reports started back in July-November time frame. Even our trusted Morpheus also said that. There is a bright side of working with IBM, they are dedicated and focused on developing the PowerPC chips unlike the G4 processor maker Motorola/Freescale.

PS: In before lock
