i did a search and found nothing.. errr, n.m i did a search for 1.6 and found the mac link there, sorry 
for those who care..

The newest chip in Motorola?s arsenal, code named G5, is said to be officially named the PowerPC 8500. Early speculation on the chip had its name to be the 7500, but now it?s been dubbed the 8500. According to sources, the desktop models of the chips will run at 1.2GHz, 1.4GHz, and 1.6GHz., and are said to contain 58 million transistors, more than twice that of the G4.
More Good News
More good news is that the new G5 will support multiprocessing, and will be a 64 bit chip, while still remaining compatible with 32-bit applications and running them at full speed. This is unlike Intel?s Itanium 64 bit chips which contain an emulator to run 32 bit applications. Another benefit of this new G5 technology is the quicker, 400 MHz front-side bus, along with standard DDR SDRAM memory chips. And, running underneath these new chips will be a motherboard chipset designed for the G5, which will allow Macs to support up to 16GB of RAM.
Other niceties of the new system will be its USB 2.0 support, which runs at 480 Mbps compared to the measly 12Mbps of USB 1.1. FireWire will also reportedly be ratcheted up to the current 1394b spec, transferring data at a blazing 800Mbps compared to 1394?s 400Mbps.
