Motorola G5 project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Motorola G5 project was an unsuccessful attempt around 2000-2001 to create a 64-bit successor to Motorola's PowerPC 7400 series, better known as the PowerPC G4.
What most people don't know is that Motorola had a working 'G5' chip, but the chip's production failed in the early stages of mass production and thus could not be made into a useable chip. [citation needed]
When Apple began producing 64-bit systems under the G5 brand, they used IBM's PowerPC 970, which is also known as the PowerPC G5.
