Funnily enough I mentioned this on here a few days ago. Steve Jobs when announcing the G5 said they would have a 3Ghz model available in 12 months, and a G5 laptop. It never happened. Was a big reason in why they moved to Intel. I had a dual 2Ghz G5 Powermac, I used to call it 'Steve's folly' because when you had it going at full speed, you knew it by the excessive fan noise. They just ran too hot. When the Intel Mac mini release and it ran faster than the G5 using only about 1/10th the power, we knew it was done.

PA Semi developed their PWRffcient PPC chips to be pitched to Apple. They solved all the issues of thermals and performance ceilings but by that time it was too late as the Intel transition was in action. Apple purchased PA Semi and they now do all the Apple silicon stuff. Thus I say PWRffcient was the best job application you have ever seen.
