The XServe is now in a serious need of an upgrade. I am guessing the specs will be dual 1.8 Gzh with everything else the same as the PM.



Maybe Pixar will then move over to G5 render farms.

    Soon I hope... but I wonder how it would be cooled?

    Actually I'd expect lower speeds in the Xserve, at least in the current form factor. Low heat / power and high reliability are the important factors. A dual 1.4 or 1.6 would probably be very effective, and a relatively small drop in performance for a big gain in efficiency. I wouldn't expect it for a couple of months though -- give the PowerMacs a chance to catch up with demand and work out the bugs in the system.

    Do we have any information on the watttage of that sucker.





    Hey you know what? Where I work they toyed with the idea of getting a Linux blade server. Like ~20 CPUs. OS X and Apple did come up though. Now with a "real" CPU it should come up again
