So does our source of new CPU information know anything about this supposed 750VX, rumored to have speeds of 1.4Ghz+ and VMX? I'm interested to know what the pinout is -- does it still use a 292-pin CBGA and does it support a 60x bus?

I'd be surprised if it was still using the 60x bus at 1.4GHz, especially with Altivec and its monstrous hunger for bandwidth.

Well I think Moto's G4's still support 60x (as well as MPX), but I'm not sure...

I read that Apple cancelled the Mojave project at IBM several months ago. I haven't heard any more about it since then. |

Currently I don't see the interest of this chip anymore.
Both the Imac and the powermac have G5 The emac, the powerbook, and the Ibook have G4. Faster G4 are on the way, with clockspeed up ot 2ghz with the 90 nm process . Dual core G4 are currently in phase of developpement, and will give a huge speed bump. The dual core G4 chip will have an internal memory controller. I wonder if the same feature will be implemented with the 90 nm G4 : I fear it's not the case. Powerbook G5, will be possible when IBM use 65 nm process, or if IBM use the lowk dielectric tecnology and the Strained SOI tech on their 90 nm process (it will allow to have lower voltage and lower wattage chip). The other option will be the dual core G4. The mystery of the future of the powerbook is still open |

There will be a successor to the 750 but in won't be the VX. There have been rumors of a merger of the 400 and 700 cores and a new 300 series targeted the embedded market. No specific rumor regarding these matters have emerged since the "confirmed" axing of the VX a year or so ago. There is indeed a kind of vacuum here which leads me to believe that there is something major at work. For instance, we have yet to see the full scope of "Cell" technology. |
