IBM recently announced a new version of its modified G3 chip, the PowerPC 750CXe microprocessor for use in embedded computer systems (not for PC computers). The new 750CXe is now compatible with 133MHz system buses and is promised in speeds up to 700MHz by April.

These chips are for iBooks and iMacs?
Think Subnotebook for these chips. It seems that the Subnotebook is where Apple is lacking at the moment.
the chip is for "embedded computer systems (not for PC computers)"
ie. handhelds, cellphones, pagers, Internet appliances.
In other words, things that are good at doing one or a few things well.
I want the 700MHz watch!
all your base are belong to us
This chip is the version destined for embedded applications hence the "e" suffix. The 750cx in the new iMacs is very similar - it supports 133MHz FSB and could be clocked up to 700MHz.
Why stop at watches, howabout a 700mhz thermometer!
700mhz watches? if I can get 2.4Ghz out of a phone I expect a little more out of my watch
Can I take the 2.4ghz processor out of my phone and put it in my computer
OR
