According to a brief paragraph on MacOS Rumours Apple may be switching to IBM POWER4 CPUs instead of the Motorola G5 for future Macs.

Hello. Craig Williamson said that GameCube utilises as cheap implementation of POWER4 chip... that didn't sound right to me, so a quick search showed the GameCube CPU modelled on a cheap version of the PowerPC 750.. ie commonly know as the G3, that sits inside those candy-colored old style iMacs... hence the price.
Refer to this...
