I don't know if this link has been posted

Its just IBMs product blurb about the 970 that I found at http://www.ibm.com in a simple search for Powerpc 970. A simillar search at Apple didn't come up with anything relevant.
Obviously its no secret at IBM about the 970 - its just odd that Apple hasn't come forward to say anything and we only get rumors.
How well does this work as a marketing scheme? I know that they really don't want to announce a new machine (and one that has a huge potential to greatly out perform the current G4s) too early and lose potential sales. But if they go with IBM for the 980, 990 and beyond there will be much more info available to the consumer to speculate on and defeats the secretive ways of Apple marketing.
Any thoughts on this?
