Ars Technica: Inside the IBM PowerPC 970
Very in-depth and filled with complicated technical details. Worth the effort you put into it, giving a good description of the technical differences between the 970, existing G4 and P4.

I'm really looking forward to the new processor, because I think it will put Apple much further ahead in the technology race than they are now. Another year to polish OS X more and then a new architecture to dump it on so it'll scream? I'll definitely be saving for a mac...

IBM unveils 64-bit PowerPC microprocessor
I'v mentioned the different reports about Apple moving to Intel based processors a few times in the past. This week, thought, IBM announced they'll be releasing a new PowerPC processor, which is what Mac's use currently. In the past Motorola has been designing Apple's processors, a process which has caused Apple to fall far behind in the megahertz race.

I think this is a good idea merely because it encourages competition. OS X vs Windows, Intel vs IBM, etc. More competition means better products (in theory) and that means bigger and better ways to use technology. Sweet.
