IBM's New Blade Servers to Contain PowerPC G5s Running at 2.2 GHz

according to this ARNnet article. IBMs new blade servers will apparently use the same CPU, a PowerPC 970 running at 2.2 GHz, as Apple uses in its Power Mac G5s and iMac G5s. The supply of G5s, particularly the speedier ones over 2 GHz, have been constrained due to manufacturing problems at IBM. We hope this development means that the constraint has eased considerably. But the online Apple Store still indicates a 3-5 week delay from order to shipping as it has for a month or so. [Dana Baggett]
