I'm sure having an optimized compiler will be a Good Thing, but I'm suspicious that the lack of compiler optimization would nearly cancel out so many of the benefits of the 970 vs. the G4.
If this were true, Mac software companies would be in a bit of a bind: Sell two different versions of every OS X app, or sell one compromise version for both G4s and 970s.
Well, being optimized for the 970 and being optimized for the G4 are not necessarily mutually exclusive. It could be that optimizing for the 970 may not effect G4 performance at all (excluding, of course, 64 bit code).

Sure, it would be great to see AI come through with a rumor like this, but my point is that Appleinsider was not the first to rumor the WWDC date. That's all the AI article is at this point. A rumor. It's been rumored long before the AI article. Macbidoobie also said it would be previewed/released at WWDC.
[edit: Like I said, I'd love to see AI come back into the rumors community. And with a scoop like the 'Smeagol' name, it's well on its way. I'm not trying to be 'anti-AI' if that's what you are thinking. I'd just like to give credit where credit's due. Kudos to AI for the 'Smeagol' thing. I started a thread on it at Macrumors, and it made the most recent front page article.]
I'm not sure what legal right apple has to force a news site to take an article off. If the site had pictures or specs on the product that would be different. The article on AI's page doesn't seem to reveal enough for apple legal to have a legal reason to have them pull the article.
The G3 as we know it is made by IBM - and I don't think Motorola has ever formally used "G5" as a name for one of their chips. They've just been the 8000-series processors, or the Book-E processors, or something similar.
Anyways, why not let this be an opportunity to give "G5" a good name?
yes, that is the benefit of having a site run by a cabal of monkeys...apple probably can't figure out who is in charge, why they are in charge or what they are in charge of...AI is modeled after the saddam school of leadership...many fakes and covers and who knows if the person running ai is even alive at all....

Actually, that's the US that's being run by a cabal of monkeys that constantly fake and cover up things (i.e., WMD in Iraq, Saddam is a threat, etc.).
Just wanted to keep the facts from going out of control

Hmmm.
Unless I see the actual letter from the 'Fedayeen Steve', and see the exact wording, I really don't believe it.
It is the easiest thing to raise your kudos by taking an article down 'at Apple's request'...
Lets see the letter!!
I doubt MacRumors would do that. Especially since it wasn't their story anyway - how could it improve their rep when it wasn't their story?
Why isn't it off AI? I can think of two reasons:
1. They can't find anyone running the site.
2. They know noone reads the AI front page.

This may be truer than you already know...
*cough cough* What? I didn't say anything.

Eh...they weren't the first with the G5/970 rumors.
They've been floating around the 'net for weeks, months even.
Check the macrumors backlog or Macbidoobie for all the past articles.

Umm AI was the only that said that they were in fact going to be called POWERMAC G5 and would in fact be at WWDC.
Eveyrone else said powerpc 970 was going to be used but did not say G5 from what i remember

Oh....they were the first to pen the 'G5' moinker. It all becomes clear now...
Seriously though, it doesn't really matter if they were right about the 'G5' name. Hell, two years ago, the Reg said the 'G5' was coming.
Concerning WWDC:
The WWDC date has been rumored ever since the conference got pushed back.

Which makes me wonder. What did the Macrumors article have that the Appleinsider doesn't?
Or does Apple not know about the AI article?
I remember there was a whole series of Adobe legal pulls, and then later Apple Legal pulls. This was way before the slaptech takeover.
whoa! neat..I'm using Omniweb for the first time, and it has a built in Spell check!
The G5 is Motorola. The past. Apple marketing may want to call the 970 the 'G5' but it isn't.

Rothenberg and dePlume have collaborated on articles before, and this is the second Ciarelli / Rothenberg article.
Bingo, JLL!!! I'm surprised nobody caught the re-incarnation of Rothenberg's co-author earlier. It was quite obvious to me.
[Deleted some personal info. I didn't want to look like a creep.]
Q.E.D.

I guess.
I'd still like to call it the '970'
Nice big number.
