Look at what IBM just sent as part of their 'PowerPC interest': [quote] PowerPC: High Performance Embedded Processors of Choice A report by Andrew Allison, Independent Indusry Analyst Market shares by architecture in the embedded proc…

Digital Audio was released in Jan 2001 though wasn't it? He [or she ] is saying that this motherboard was a prototype prior to Jan 2001. I would rather not think about this scenario [ 07-10-2002: Message edited by: DaveLee ]

You make a reasonable point ting5, but I think that you are also making generalisations about what may or may not be in the pipeline. The fact that both Motorola and IBM have published information related to their respective bookE compliant chips (t…

OK guys, chill. There are enlightened Americans and enlightened Europeans, and stupid people on both sides of the Atlantic. Back to the thread...

Yeah, LOL. They do everything in their power to steer you away from Apple anyway, guess it was a bad example.

So... Dorsal posts with what is a reasonably pragmatic, reasonably expected G4 system at NY. Then he goes and spoils it by posting some desirable G5 snippet. With no clue about timeframe. Drat.

You can get the top p670 with a Power4 for a smidge over $100k I think. But what I meant was that IBM is still making workstations well above the price of a G4 PowerMac, and these are still based on the 604e! Their Power3 based offerings a…

Re; the Reg article about Power4 low end. This is interesting especially coupled to what has been discussed on this thread. But one thing confuses me - why on earth would IBM develop a chip (that Apple may use), only to have them compete for the …

Just a question (and I don't have time enough to trawl through the previous threads), but wasn't it Moki that a few months ago was totally shooting down rumours of the G5 arriving soon? I remember something about him saying 'no way Jose' - now ha…

Yep. But Apple will get hit upside the head with another marketing ploy in a number of months. We will soon have the raw speed advantages of the P4, coupled to the 64-bitness of the AMD offerings. I hope that that SJ has a better riposte for t…

That is why I think Apple/Motorola should look to what AMD are up to with the Hammer/Opteron. It will be this chip in the long run that will give them the bigger headache (with performance issues). Intel are already far too far ahead in raw spee…

This is a good thread! Something also doesn't quite mesh: Before Xmas, MacWorld UK ran a couple of articles which mentioned the 'G5' (as in Mot's next generation chip). They discussed possible timelines of introduction and even interviewed som…

Hey Lemon Bon Bon, I did that Ray Dream thing (just Ray Dream 3D at the time) on a IIvx!! Wa-hey, those were the days (I was only a hobbyist though). It took me a whole summer (literally) to model and render a scene. I now have C4D and it do…

That is the point Amorph. It is just 'future-proofing' to an extent. When the first G4's were released they had, what, a 10GB HD? Now that we have got at least an 8x increase in storage space on shipping computers, Apple should show that if some…
