	Apple PowerPC G5: 64-bit processing at speeds up to 2GHz
		The design of the PowerPC G5 was derived from IBM's 64-bit POWER4 processor, whose highly parallel processing, two double-precision floating-point units and advanced branch prediction logic drive IBM's successful eBusiness servers.
		Two Integer Units: The PowerPC G5 has two integer units capable of a broad range of simple and complex instructions involving both 32-bit or 64-bit calculations, and which take full advantage of the processor's 64-bit registers and data paths to complete 64-bit integer calculations in a single pass.
		Complete: When operations on the data are complete, the PowerPC G5 recombines the instructions into the original groups of five and the load/store units store the data in cache or main memory for further processing.

	PowerPC 970 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, the PowerPC 970, PowerPC 970FX, PowerPC 970GX, and PowerPC 970MP, also known as PowerPC G5, are 64-bit processors in the PowerPC family from IBM.
		The PowerPC 970 is built using a 130 nm manufacturing process, and the PowerPC 970FX and 970MP are built using a 90 nm fabrication process.
		The G5 ran at higher temperatures than older models meaning it could not be fitted into the Powerbook or the iBook.

	PowerPC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		PowerPC was the cornerstone of AIM's PReP and Common Hardware Reference Platform initiatives in the 1990s, but the architecture found the most success in the personal computer market in Apple's Macintosh lines from 1994-2006.
		PowerPC is largely based on IBM's earlier POWER architecture, and retains a high level of compatibility with it; the architectures have remained close enough that the same programs and operating systems will run on both if some care is taken in preparation.
		IBM also had a full line of PowerPC based desktops built and ready to ship; unfortunately, the operating system which IBM had intended to run on these desktops—Microsoft Windows NT—was not complete by early 1993, when the machines were ready for marketing.

	Power Mac G5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The current revision of the Power Mac G5 is available in three, dual-core PowerPC G5 configurations, operating at 2.0, 2.3, and a dual-processor 2.5 GHz configuration (the dual contains four cores in total, two per processor).
		The G5 processor is a common name given to several different chips manufactured by IBM: the PowerPC 970, 970FX, and 970MP, based upon IBM’s POWER4 processor.
		The PowerPC G5 (called the PowerPC 970 by its manufacturer, IBM) is based upon IBM's dual-core POWER4 microprocessor.

	eXtensions: PowerPC G5
		The G5 I had at my disposal was the single processor, 1.8GHz PowerPC with 512MB of memory and a hard disk of 160GB with OSX version 10.2.7 installed.
		While the G4 has the logic board on the door, which opened flat, the G5 logic board placement is at the back of the case, behind fans, the hard disk and the chip housings.
		Late at the end of the first day of running the G5, I spent some time watching Lord of the Rings: the cinema display, plus the plug-in Harmon-Kardon Creature speakers made this a far better experience than the DVD player and television I normally use.

	Apple and IBM Introduce the PowerPC G5 Processor
		Based on IBM's industry leading POWER architecture, the new PowerPC G5 processor has been optimized for personal computers and is at the heart of Apple's newly announced Power Mac(R) G5, the world's fastest desktop computer.
		With the development of the PowerPC G5 we've entered into a much deeper partnership, and Apple now has access to a vast portfolio of IBM's advanced technologies used in our high-performance servers and supercomputers," said John Kelly, senior vice president and group executive, IBM Technology Group.
		The next generation PowerPC architecture is based on a completely new execution core that features massively parallel computation for an unprecedented 215 in-flight instructions, full symmetric multi-processing, two double precision floating point units and an optimized Velocity Engine(TM).

		Apple, of course, is the obvious customer for the 970, and as I'll discuss in a moment IBM's newly announced chip would fit well with their general needs and direction.

	Technical Note TN2087: PowerPC G5 Performance Primer
		The G5 has two complete double-precision floating-point units, and each one offers better performance than the single floating-point unit in the G4.
		Instruction issue to the Velocity Engine units on the G5 is the same as that in the 7400/7410 G4: only two instructions can be issued to the Velocity Engine units in the same cycle if one of them is a vector permute.
		On the G5, the problem is magnified because stores followed by a load of the same address cause a dispatch group rejection and flush.

	The New Apple Core: IBM's PowerPC 970/G5
		Besides moving from 32 to 64 bits, the G5 represents Apple's turning from longtime supplier Motorola to its other partner in the PowerPC trio, IBM -- the new CPU is actually the PowerPC 970 that IBM unveiled in October 2002.
		To tame this beast for desktop duty, IBM removed one of the processor cores and the L3 controller and trimmed the Level 2 cache to 512K, accompanied by 96K of Level 1 cache (32K for data and 64K for instructions).
		In addition to the native 64-bit mode, with the 42-bit real and 64-bit effective addresses mentioned earlier, the processor supports a native 32-bit mode, which clears the top half of all effective addresses and uses the first 16 entries of the segment look-aside buffer as on-chip segment registers, reducing the number of off-chip table accesses.
