Right. Except if we don't know when the countdown ends and for what you can just yell "zero, here it is!" as soon as something gets released.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, it just lacks a certain savior faire.

The countdown has been on since the last update to the hardware/software you are looking at...but more specifically since January 1 for this year.

Intel just announced 50 watt quad core Xeons. Those could go inside the iMac. A quad core iMac would be impressive but an eight core one would be unbelievable.

Right. The iMac cannot get the quads that are available today. Not without major re-engineering at least.

Hmmm.....perhaps I've inadvertently coined a new catch phrase. "Savior Faire", the untouchable cool of the messiah.

I think nothing more than the obvious: Apple is waiting for new technology from Intel (Santa Rosa) to update its mobile-based lines (yes, iMac included). The absence of updates, if it is related to SR as I assume, would be an indication that the new iMac is still going to use mobile components. And probably in an unchanged form factor for the next update.

According to
HTML Code:

, the SantaRosa/CentrinoPro platform will start to be rolled out in less than two weeks. It's anyone's guess as to when Apple will release its machines based on the platform, though.

Expect anything between some weeks to 2-3 months from then. I am inclined to believe it will take for Apple one month or so to start updating. By WWDC or a little after we may have new machines.

if new design, new enclosure, it will take until WWDC.

if no design changes, we may see ASAP once Centrino Pro available from intel. Apple doing good at this quarter, it should be incorporated into their iMac and macbook, pro lines soon.

With mobile 4 core intel chips, I believe slated for release in 3Q 2007 I would be hopeful to see them in iMacs at LEAST in Macworld 2008, wouldn't you?

Of course one can never tell with Apple.

Edited to add :- It has come to my attention that this remark about the release of the quad core chips is wrong, please accept my apologies. I leave this post as is, so as not to cause confusion while reading the thread

I was thinking of buying my first Mac back in August. Then they announced the new 24" iMacs, so thought I'd wait a bit until all the bugs were worked out. Then, as the Holidays approached, it seemed like a good idea to wait until Leopard was released, at the time the rumor was early '07. Then Spring '07. I'm getting a little impatient as I'm still using an old Dell 933mhz PIII, putting off moving it to work so I can use it there for my business, and buying a new Mac for home where I can finally start editing my MiniDV home movies (old Dell too s l o w). Then, rumor of new Macs being put off till June for new awsome "must have" type innovative hardware upgrade. Now you say Q3 before anything new? WTF! I hope that's just part of the rumor mill too, and that we do see something in June, otherwise I'm inclined to write Apple off as a fine producer of Vaporware and buy a Windows laptop. I really want to buy a Mac, but I can't wait till Q3. I also hate the thought of spending money on a Windows laptop to get me to tided over till Apple gets around to it. And I'm not going to buy a Mac now with it soooo close (?) to new hardware. I'm going to give them till June to at least have a concrete announcement, and then forget it.
