    T2081 is out. T2080, SATA3 and eSATA are in.


    Yeah, I can verify this. While I'm not allowed to discuss the details, a PCI-E bridge chip has been incorporated to handle the additional components. Oh, and in addition to the parts Andreas has mentioned, USB3 controllers are being evaluated.

    In short if this makes production it is likely to be the most advanced new PPC system introduced thus far.
    While the clock speed is lower than the G5, the cpu supports two times the threads of a dual 970MP or four times the threads of a dual 970 (8 total).

    So, T2080, MXM, SATA3, eSATA, and USB3.
    And the schematics are being created by Acube.

    So, do we sound serious now?
