Is this the successor of Power PC G5 chip?
As you all knows that G5 chip was powerful, but not suitable for mobile platform because of it's big heatsink size. Actually if the heat problem couldn't be solved, Power6 processor will be used only for middleframes or workstations. This is the reason why Apple has moved from G5.
But I still believe the power of RISCs.
