According to an IBM press release, "IBM announced its highest performing embedded PowerPC processor - the PowerPC 750CXe. While the PowerPC 750CXe is used as a stand-alone high-performance microprocessor in consumer-based desktop computers, it is also being used increasingly as an embedded processor in a broad range of networking and imaging applications. Samples of the 400, 500 and 600 MHz PowerPC 750CXe are available immediately, with production ramping in April, and 700 MHz is targeted to be sampling in May. Based on quantities of 10k, pricing is as follows: $57 for 400 MHz, $93.75 for 500 MHz and $143.75 for 600 MHz." [Dana Baggett]
