More on the iMac G5

The iMac G5 Developer Note is out and it is pretty interesting to compare the block diagra to the Powermac G5 Developer Note's block diagram. The iMac stacks up pretty well, considering what it is and specification-wise beats out the PowerMac's internal optical drive bus, with ATA/133 rather than the PowerMac's ATA/100. Otherwise the differences mainly have to do with the single rather than dual processor (and associate dRAM handling) and the iMac's lack of PCI-X slots.
