Erm, the G5 is a "downsized" POWER4, not POWER5. :)
Considering that IBM is trying to move away from POWER4 to POWER5, that
may also be why they're somewhat ignoring fixing up the G5.

Apple's move all but ensures the death of the
PowerPC chip since
they were its biggest buyer.
Note that todays IBM POWER chips are "nothing more" then PowerPC on
steroids. Or better sayed a PowerPC, especially the G5, is a
downsized POWER5.
