> the 970 isn't really a SOC.
Yes, it's no SoC at all, not even a very basic one like the PA6T with its integrated memory controller (and Ethernet).
> Hyper Transport...like AMD uses.
Yes, and HyperTransport is already used by the CPC925/U3/U3H to connect to the PCI(-X) bridge in the currently supported AGP-based G5 PowerMacs.
