While its likely not worth taking with anything more than a grain of salt—as with all rumors—an article at The Register offers some new details on Motorola PowerPC 8500/G5, including benchmarks that show a 1.6GHz PowerPC G5 outpacing a 2GHz Pentium 4 by nearly double. An update on the production status of the chip is also provided. The Register has previously speculated that Power Mac G5 systems could be introduced at Macworld Expo San Francisco this January.
