[4] G3 Upgrade Information
G3 is Apple's name for the latest PowerPC processor from the Apple/IBM/Motorola alliance. (At MACWORLD Expo/Boston, the chip was referred to as the PowerPC 750, but Apple's official name is PowerPC G3.) The G3 processor is the first microprocessor in the industry to be optimized for an operating system, Mac OS, rather than the other way around. Included among its many new features is a "backside" cache--very fast memory that has its own high-speed connection to the PowerPC G3 processor. This cache can be accessed by the processor three to four times faster than that of previous cache designs. Real-world tests are showing a 200 percent speed improvement over the 200 MHz PowerPC 604e. To learn more about the new G3 systems, processors, and architecture, check out this web site:
