Most Mac users probably remember Freescale as the spin off semiconductor division of Motorola and its famous G3 and G4 processors. Apple decision to adopt Intel processors sent it back to its main business: embedded processor solutions.
Expected for 2008, the new platform from Freescale will be engraved at 45nm and will support up to 32 cores. Such core will be an evolution of "our" G4 clocked at 1.5GHz. With current Dual or Quad Core Intel processors and the development of multithreading and parallelization, it would have been interesting to test OS X on a 32 Core G4-based computer.
