PowerPC G4 Information

Bernhard Fastenrath writes "The G4 will have (in german) 2 parallel AltiVec units with 32 128 bit registers each. The back side cache bus can transfer 64 or 128 bits resulting in a maximum transfer rate of 3.2 GB/s (at 200 MHz). The processor will only require 8 watts at 400 MHz and it will be the first 0,20 m copper chip from Motorola (Q199)." All I have to say is yummy. And how long before they make laptops with this thing?
