In other news the CHUD thread now confirms the 970MP.
Apple got screwed in the last week by those two breakthroughs. I haven't seen any breakthroughs like this in a few years. I guess you can only keep things under the lid for so long before they become apparent.
IMO, the release of the PPC 970 GX will not be a big surprise. A bigger L2 cache and some minor improvements like more cache locking options and al, is an easy way, but efficiant way of increasing the efficiency of a chip.
There was already a G3 GX, why not a G5 GX.
I mean a PPC 970 with 1MB of cache giving a typical 5% boost is not an eart shattering new.

Hi Steve.
I know. This is hilarious. What can we get them to change now?

OTOH, it could mean a nice order for Freescale from Apple. I don't know if that's A Good Thing or not.
BTW, the flash in the sky is Uncle Steve going into orbit.

Dude, everyone knows that Steve doesn't get his hands dirty...
He uses genetically engineered ninjas, cloned from his own DNA...!
As for the Force, what do you think the Reality Distorsion Field is...?!?

Not going to happen. Look at what Freescale has. NOTHING.
or if they'll go ahead and give us a QuadraMac right from the start.
I'm sure those who purchased the first G5 single processor towers
will understand what I mean.
