Seems to be accurate enough.

assuming that the article is true... and the imac gets G3 at 1Ghz.... then we will see G4/G5's that are substantially faster than that.

Then he gives us 4 paragraphs of what they told him

750MHz at MacMinute??? PLEASE!
Given Apple's goal of keeping the iMac in the $1,000 range, flat screens and 1-gig chips had been just too expensive. The company rightly decided it would be a bigger mistake to raise prices than to have the iMac just slightly outdated. In the past six months, however, component prices have plunged, and Apple engineers have been emboldened to try to gain a new advantage.

so maybe the price quoted at other sites as $1800 is very wrong....g
I don't buy it. Sahara isn't ready, and the Powermacs won't clock a MHz beyond 1 GHz. This is Apple we're talking about here. Everything is incremental and mediocre with them.
For example, the Titanium: it took Apple a year to update it's motherboard beyond the 100 MHz system bus that the Pismo had.
It took Apple a year to update the iBook's miserable 66 MHz bus. 66 MHz?!?!??!? What is this, 1994?
Apple will not suddently double the speed of every computer in their lineup. Think modest, think profit margins, think 100 MHz speedbumps. Think lame.

Anyone else find this laughable?
I dont mind, i mean it is an improvemnt, but it is not a next gen chip, in fact it may be 2 generations (and the low cost version) behind if the GeFrce 4 comes out

This should be all the evidence you need as to the accuracy of Mr. Haddad's prognostications, as well as his involvement in the Macintosh platform, and computing in general.

Laughable, maybe. However it coincides with the appleinsider rumor, unlike all of the others that say a radeon is inside.

Wow, I didn't even realize that until now.
