Corrected: We made two rather unfortunate mistakes in this article as originally published. The first was that we called the first of the new processors mentioned in the road map below the PowerPC 7455. The 7457 is the correct designation, and the article has been corrected. The second was that we said the road map targeted the 7457 for between 867 MHz and 1.3 GHz. In actuality, the high end for the 7457 is actually targeted at 1.8 GHz, and the article has also been corrected to reflect this. Thanks to Observer Pope for pointing out both errors in the comments below. – Editor]
Just when IBM had Mac users hot and bothered by their new PowerPC 970, a new processor has shown up on Motorolais PowerPC road map. An anonymous Observer tipped us off to the new processor, which has being dubbed the PowerPC 7457. The 7457 shows up in the road map in the G4+ family after Motorolais current PowerPC 7455.
