New Lower Power G5s??

IBM just released new lower power G5 chips. Does anyone wonder if any of these will make it into upgrades for G5 machines? It could be a nice upgrade for rev A owners to go from 1.6 to 2.5GHz.

Seriously, isn't this what the 970GX is? Or was that just deemed a "mobile solution" in general, not necessarily a low power solution?

Oh yeah... I'd seriously like to get my hands on the long awaited PowerBook G5. Intel is nice when you have a couple of Xeons but those MacBooks are kinda lame
