IBM has today presented various new versions of their G5 processor at the Power Everywhere Forum in Japan. Firstly, it introduced the much-anticipated PowerPC 970MP, the dual-core version of the G5. In addition, they also announced 3 low-power G5s, ranging from 1.2Ghz at 13W to 1.6Ghz at 16W. These processors will most likely find their way into Apple's Macs.

Apple would have been well aware of those new processors for some time
I think it would be a medium to major pain to keep producing both x86 and PPC Macs. Developers would hate that. On the other hand, these new IBM chips look really nice for servers. Even low power consumption could come in handy - not everybody has heavy duty cooling for their server racks! It would be a great complement to the Intel Mac line.
