Strange.
Another opinion:
"Except for Freescale, most Power licensees base their devices on CPU core designs from IBM. AppliedMicro is the exception. It developed a new CPU of its own (Titan), then halted that effort and started afresh on a new design that may arrive shortly." http://www.mdronline.com/processor_watch/watch_issue.php?processor_watch_id=664
So maybe Titan wasn't based on any PPC4xx core at all? The more information I read, the more confusing it gets ;-)
