Interesting you found the IBM press release, I had a cursory dig around
ibm.com
but did not manage it.
And what do you mean by "old name"? If you mean "970", no, it hasn't;
IBM
will always refer to it as the PowerPC 970, and Apple will likely
always
refer to it in official materials as the "PowerPC G5".
I am not trying to irritate people. I was just observing that I find it
curious
that no where on *Apple's* web site do they refer to the real model of
the
chip. Even in the tech specs docs. Since IBM made it I assume they have
the right to give it it's "true name"
I'm not sure where the "Moto may sue" thing comes from, as they have
nothing to do with the PowerPC 970 at all...
I am sure I saw something last year that Moto was working on something
called a "G5". I guess Apple own all the trademarks on "G?".
What does the G stand for anyway?
