The other link is a bit detailed for a casual browser, so here's a quick summary:
Based on the IBM POWER4+
1.2-1.8GHz initially, 1.8-2.5GHz later (first speeds from IBM, second from slightly suspect IBM sources + rumors)
up to 900MHz bus (6.4GB/sec)
512k L2 cache
96k L1 cache
No L3 cache
Two floating point units
Heavy use of out of order execution
8 instructions fetched per cycle
5 instructions dispatched/retired per cycle (1 must be a branch, and they're dispatched in groups of 5 rather than individually)
Altivec (old G4 style)
42 watts of power @ 1.8GHz
19 watts @ 1.2GHz
.13 micron SOI manufacturing process
SPECint score of about 950 @ 1.8GHz
SPECfp score of about 1050 @ 1.8GHz
for comparison, a 3.06GHz Pentium 4 gets 1100/1100 and a 1GHz G4 gets about 180/300
