Nog maar net na de release van de G4 verspreidt Motorola al weer plannen rond de 64-bit G5 wonderprocessor, die Merced performance moet brengen - maar dan op de desktop:
In addition, Swearingen said that except for processor-specific embedded OSes, the 64-bit G5 will require "virtually no" alterations to application code. Combined with the 2-GHz speeds at which the G5 should debut, according to a recent Motorola road map, this design should afford the G5 a distinct performance advantage over the Merced.Merced will be best-suited for large servers because of its expected high price, cigarette-pack size and considerable heat production. By contrast, the G5 is being designed with desktop computing in mind, according to Motorola's road map.
Zou een leuk Linux procje kunnen zijn (om maar niet te spreken over 'dat andere OS' 
)
