i believe that would be the new RISC processor apple, ibm and motorola are
developing for next-generation macintosh and ibm boxes.
if i remember correctly, PowerPC a single chip implementation of the RISC
chipset ibm uses in their RS/6000 workstations.
according to the mac rags, apple is supposed to have boxes out using the
chip within a year or so.
the systems are supposed to scream, from what i've heard...
