Actually, I'm pretty sure it was just a research processor, not a real
PowerPC implementation (though the news.com article suggests otherwise).
I believe this is the first complete processor that is able to run (at
room temperature anyway) this fast, but I got the idea that it's only a
proof of concept and not yet very close to being an actual product.

IBM's press release is at: http://www.ibm.com/News/1998/02/ls980204.html
