Hmmm.. It sure would be nice but, is it out yet? That is supposed to simplify the design and enable the G3 at above 1GHz. However, I don't know if it has the AltiVec set incorporated in it. Also, I'm not sure if the L2 is on die at a somewhat smaller size. Heard some blurb about it a few months back. Gotta take a look at the tech developer docs once I can get my hands on a sample.
