- rdsnsca 5y agoThe G5 was the desktop chip, it was Motorola's task to scale it down for laptops, which they were unable to do.
- b3morales 5y agoThat's a good point, thanks.
- philwelch 5y agoSort of. The G4 chip was still used in laptops until the Intel transition, and was produced by Motorola until they spun off their semiconductor division into Freescale, which continued producing the G4 until the end.
