The 7410s (pretty high octane/larger cache) went into the 400/500, and the 7450/51 (lower power/higher clock/smaller cache) are in the current iteration. 7445s (the 800MHz) are the rumour, but no idea of spec as I haven't had time to hunt through Moto's spec page. They're meant to be less of a power-guzzler though, although what impact that will have on performance, I don't know. I think some BareFeats tests showed high performance for the 500 than the 550 in some instances, although I think the DVD/CDRW drive is pretty compelling with the C revisions (meaning current). I think we'll have to call the forthcoming ones 'D'.
