PowerBook G3
The PowerBook G3 was the first PowerBook to use the PPC 750, a third generation Motorola/IBM processor. The 750, or "G3" as it had been nicknamed before, was the first PPC processor designed to use a high speed, "backside" cache which could interact with the processor at much faster speeds than a standard L2 cache, which was restricted by the motherboard speed.
