[Rumeur] 0.065um G5 [Updated]

MacosXrumors jsu put online a rumor, which we could not really believe immediately: IBM could be able to produce 65nm PowerPC by the end of the year.
One of our sources just gave us some details confirming this rumor.
IBM could be close to validate the 65nm process. Mass production should start during the next 6 to 9 coming month. The 90nm process might not be used at all.
Of course, we have checked that our source was not the same that the one from MacOSXrumors.
When you think that Motorola is not able to deliver large quantities of the 0.13um 7457 G4 processor....
[Update]
We just received some supplementary info originating from different sources. Even if the 65nm process development is progressing well at IBM, there will be no 65nm G5 before a long time, probably 2005.
IBM has indeed started production of 90nm PPC970. They will use the LoK dielectric technology to solve some electrostatic problems, similar to those that Intel is facing with the Prescott.
Mass production should start end of this year with still the same goal : ready in March to deliver the new processor.
The same source confirms that there are indeed some PPC980 prototype since last May, but there are still numerous problems to solve. It should arrive roughly one year after introduction of the PPC970, so around April. What is actually interesting to mention is that, if Intel continuing with the oil immersion technology for 65nm process, IBM is considering that this technique has no future, and is trying different possibilities.
Even if both sources gave somehow conflicting information, it actually might be part of a plan. Indeed IBM can produce other processors than the G5 with the 65nm process. The G5 is a quite complex processor, so it must be produce using a fully validated and controlled process.
