[geeks] New, cheaper, POWER4 Chip (PowerPC 970)

[Kevin]

I'm looking at this as very good news.  There have been
a number of rumors that Apple might look to Intel to
fill it's CPU gap (that never made much sense to me, i
don't see how they can afford another paradigm shift
and still keep developers from dropping them.)  The
"cut down" POWER4 would be a much better option.
