according to this eWeek article. The article paraphrases a comment by IBM's Norman Rohrer, chief designer of the PowerPC 970FX (G5) CPU:

[He] said the same chip that IBM uses for its desktop machines can also be used comfortably within future PowerBook notebooks through a power-management technique called "PowerTune."

But don't look for it any time soon. In addition, Apple just refreshed the PowerBook G4 line. [James Friedel]
