And how close are they?  From what I've read, they have a set of
"technologies" which they "hope" will enable such a fast PPC.  How
competitive, price wise, will it be?

I hope for it, if it's comparable pricing to say, a 150mhz 604e at the
time it could revolutionize the processor landscape.  But what is the
mhz-relative to- a 601, 603, or a 604?  How much faster could they
clock it after 700?  Since it's a process technology, what are the
bets Intel might not come up with something similar?  Frankly, I'm not
putting anything past them, especially after reading the tidbits about
the P7.
