Overclocked Powerbooks?

The rumoristas seem to agree Apple will be delivering a new line of G4 Powerbooks (and iBooks) in the very near future (Monday?!), with faster CPUS, larger hard drives, more powerful video cards and more configuration options. But exactly which CPU will be inside the new laptops is still in question. Insanely Great Mac compares the choices amongst contending Motorola PowerPC processors: 7447, 7455 and 7557. And their conclusion? The PowerBook updates will be overclocked “stopgap models“ released to “give [PowerBook] sales a valuable sales spike and keep Apple’s bottom line from haemorrhaging until the [PowerBook] G5 is ready to ship.” If true, its yet another strike against Apple’s desire to move forward with their product lines, joining the recent IBM G5 debacle and eMac refresh warning.
