What I'm saying is that the 970's are just hacked up and scaled down versions of IBM's POWER4 processors--which are waay overpowered for PCs. The cost of developing the 970 is going to be miniscule because they didn't need to do much work, the R&D are sunk costs.
As for whether they're faster or not... I'm 1/2 convinced. It looks good, but the real tests will come when production versions come out. I'm fairly convinced the power gap is small enough to not matter tho.
as for that article...he knows about the g5 as much as I do. it's all speculation, and he's not unbiased at all (look at his "pricing is misleading point" toward the end...you can tell he's reaching.)
