“According to very reliable sources, IBM is planning to push it’s PowerPC production process directly to 0.06um by the end of the year. Actually, it looks like the first tests of production of PowerPC 970 processors at 0.06um are very encouraging and that IBM is thinking about skipping a step on the roadmap of it’s PowerPC processors,” macosXrumors.com is reporting.
“The fact is that a 0.06um based PowerPC 970 will have a lot of advantages: first of all, it will be noticably cooler than the current PowerPC 970, secondly it will be able to reach even higher clock speeds, and finally, it will be cheaper to produce,” macosXrumors.com reports. “…the fact IBM wants to jump to 0.06um process for the production of it’s future PowerPC processors is very good news for Apple, as it certainly means the company will be technically and financially able to go 100% G5 for all its Macs, including laptops and consumer Macs within a year.”
