PowerLogix debuts 1GHz G3 upgrades with larger cache
PowerLogix today announced two new CPU upgrades based on the new IBM PowerPC "G3" 750GX CPU. The low-power IBM PowerPC 750GX is similar to the 750FX chip, but has has twice the L2 cache of the FX (1MB vs 512k), and is available in faster clock speeds. PowerLogix, which says it has been the sole supplier since February of 2003, will continue to sell PPC FX-based upgrades. The new 1GHz Blue Chip G3 Pismo ($400) is compatible with all Pismo PowerBooks and allows users to adjust the CPU speed on-the-fly for additional battery life (up to 30 minutes). PowerLogix also introduced the 1.0GHz PowerForce G3 ZIF ($350), which is compatible with the PowerMac G3 Beige, Blue and White, and original PCI PowerMac G4.

233MHz to 1GHz. That is quite a life, for any processor. And with the 750VX upgrades in development, the G3 may yet live another few years.
Contrats Pismo and B&W owners.
