Presenting at the Power Everywhere Forum 2005 in Japan, IBM today formally introduced a dual-core version of its PowerPC 970 (G5) processor, which could find its way into Apple Power Macs in the coming months.

I don’t really think this will affect Apple’s plan on switching to Intel processors by next summer, but it could mean a G5 Powerbook soon.

Although the PowerMac and MacMini are expected to be the first released with Intel processors, there was no time-table given for Powerbooks, which are most in need of a speed bump.
