MOSR: New PowerMacs based on 3ghz G6, NOT G5
According to "sources" over at MOSR
(http://www.macosrumors.com/33004M.html) the next generation Powermacs will sport new chips based on Power5 (975) architecture. Is one of these sources Nostradamus, a paid crack-head informant , or does anyone think these rumors are feasible?
Also, is all of this rampart speculation about rev.b powermac in the works preventing anyone from purchasing a PowerMac? I've always wondered what effect, if any, these rumors have on potential sales?

Well who knows what tomorrow will bring from IBM!
maybe in January the powerbooks will be based on the g7-fx mobile chip. (the 995fx)
This chip is utilizing a new design based on the power 4.5 architecture and the mobile variant's architecture includes wifi/bluetooth/wifimax support un the chip. It also supports the new wireless firewire speed standart ieee 1394k co developed by Apple and Sony. The portable will also utilize ibm's impact resistant hard drives that protect your data if your machine is dropped. You will also see an entirely new form factor. The new form factor takes design cues from the Lexus rx330 and features round indicator lights for the wifi and other wireless receivers. The new powerbook is also aerodynamic and easy to carry in case you need to use it as a projectile.
"The new powerbook is also aerodynamic and easy to carry in case you need to use it as a projectile"?!!!!!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAH.
OK....
MWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAH.
Sorry couldn't help myself!!! Maybe they will also add razor blades that automatically open as you throw your powerbook to seriously injure pursuers!!!
MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAH AAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHA.
Ok, I am done now! Thanks for the laugh, I needed that!

I am convinced that Apple has an active disinformation campaign to foil rumor sites. Remember the crumpled purloined photograph of the G5? You know, the one that looked like a room dehumidifier? Since then, the bogus information has gotten really farfetched. MacOSRumors, however, finds no rumor too silly to post.

Yeah, and he also says that 1080p is "DVD Quality". Not so accurate, methinks. Drop the '10' and replace with a '4' and he gets a gold star.

He probably means HD not DVD. But he's a fool anyway...

And fall completely flat on their face as a result. I really think someone killed Ryan. It took him weeks to come up with some of this insane stuff, now we are getting crap at an hourly rate. I think some PC trolls killed him and now use MOSR as a platform to piss the mac community off wayyyy more than any PC troll could in a mac forum.
Oh yea, the G6, righhhht.
If IBM does announce a 975 processor and Apple calls it a G6, I will eat my old hole-ridden underware.
