What bothers me is that IBM supplied faster CPUs for the XBOX then it
did for the latest revision of the powermac. This could hint at IBM
being less than cooperative in its partnership with Apple, and might
be leaving Apple with no choice but to find a new chip. What a waste-
a powerful 64 bit chip like the G5 being wasted on nothing but game
stations.

The Xbox is not shipping yet, and is still at least 4 months out, so
Gates is promising the 3GHz chip for a future ship date.
Also, from what I understand, the G5 (Power 970) chip in the Xbox 360
is a scaled down version of the chip in the Mac G5s. And when you
remove features of a chip, you lower heat, so you can run at higher
clock rates.
