  • you dont want brute force for mobile computing. this system screams with the right software. it can even be faster than current G5

  • i have inside info

  • Programming model is an issue. however as with any revolutionary advancement in computer design, there will be a period in which migration to new programming model is require apple and IBM have been porting os x to the new programming model. …

  • it is going to be more faster than the current powerbook
    in PowerBook G5 Comment by nr9 November 2003
  • the prototype is 500Mhz
    in PowerBook G5 Comment by nr9 November 2003
  • krassy, the G5 is not suitable at all, there is also power consumption for the chipset
    in PowerBook G5 Comment by nr9 November 2003
  • it some app it should be faster than current power mac but it will not be faster than power mac avaiable when it it release. the 440's on the top500 are 500Mhz the PowerBook will use 700

  • the point of the 440 SOC architecture is that it is modular. you can start with 440 core and add all the component you want for example the 440GX already has ethernet. the PowerBook G5 version has all the feature you wnat

  • sory i had typo. it is one MCM with two chips that each contain two processor package together there is nothing wrong with SOC for pro laptop. its cheap and good performance.
    in PowerBook G5 Comment by nr9 November 2003
  • that is only 1 core though, no FPU and altivec. however it is 1 Watt at 0.15 micron but its also slow at 400Mhz

  • the PPC 440 auxiliary processor interface is designed for that. http://www-3.ibm.com/chips/techlib/t...569930064E7AA/$file/440_pb.pdf

  • this computer doesnt need redesign of core the 440 is modular it has an auxiliary core port this auxiliary core is bigger than the current 440 FPU and it has altivec the whole motherboard is based on SOC it is similar in design to Blu…

  • would that be so i would get caught?

  • no

  • There are 4 cores so it not slow G5 is not design for mobile computing no matter how small you shrink it it wont work 11.2 gigaflop on DP floating point is not slow
    in PowerBook G5 Comment by nr9 November 2003
  • By the way, the picture of the PDF is not of the core, the core is the small thing on the left corner, the powerbook is different design it has a 440 core, a 440 FPU core, and an altivec core as one processor each are pack into 2 processor chi…

  • um, integrating everything makes the power consumption for the entire computer smaller. The processor core tops out at 700Mhz at 700Mhz each core offer 2.8GFlop @ 1.5 Watt
    in PowerBook G5 Comment by nr9 November 2003
  • it is a 32 bit processor it will ship next year
    in PowerBook G5 Comment by nr9 November 2003
  • It is not a G5 chip. apple call it G5 for laptop the L2 cache is only 2KB it is suitable for laptop.
    in PowerBook G5 Comment by nr9 November 2003
  • it is fine. only 1MB L3 cache each.
