Well, if Jack can only type one handed then I guess for the length of his recovery, MacWhisper will only be wrong half as much!

OMG! Geez, Jack is all over the map!!!! I find this rumor with Apple staying with the Ti hard to believe... actually everything that is on MacWhispers is hard to believe... one bad prediction gets morphed into another one and so on... Funny Ja…

G5 Power... the curves were extrapolated from THREE data points and from typical SOI power consumption curves... and they were the only data points that anyone had at the time... until Rickag found the other IBM document.

Exactly, and Jack Campbell wonders why so many people get so pissed off! I mean he really says things like "two shifts have been working on the new 15 PB and Apple is stocking them in their warehouse." And then it doesn't happen and he's like "uhhh,…

Rickag! Thanks for the new data point!!! Now that this is more recent, I believe this over the EE Times number. I have a email in to the writer of the EE Times article on how he got the number. I DO NOT see a power consumption rise of 50 watts…

rickag... what corrections would you have me make??? Considering everything we are talking about here is an assumption... BTW, what other website has used this chart? Geez, I'm down to explainning sarcasm! Gamblor, you assume that the EETimes …

Actually, it really doesn't matter to me... I just think it's funny that people basically try to convince other people that their reading of the tea leaves is correct... I too am surprised by the 97 watt numbers. However, those numbers had to com…

Ok! Ok! You got me! I'll admit I am wrong! In fact the EETimes numbers are absolutely made up... they didn't want anyone to know... so they came up with a odd number like 97 instead of 50 or 100. One guy guessed a number between 1 and 10 and then…
-
Yep, this thread will be right some day... In regards to the chart, the hard data's origin is listed directly on the chart. The rest is extrapolation based on known temperature characteristics of SOI. Whether the EETimes numbers are right will ne…

An updated 15 inch to Aluminum specs is what I'm looking for too. Hopefully, it comes soon and it would be nice to see a speed bumped G4, although I do not know how likely that is with the current G4 and the schedule of the 7457. It seems that ha…

Guys, when trying to see into the future, get rid of what you want and try to predict what is realistic. I SOOOO want a G5 Powerbook - but it ain't going to happen anytime soon - or else Steve would have announced it at WWDC... The power consumpt…
-
Good point with that pic... those heat sinks are huge... and people are saying they'll put that in a laptop. As I've said before... IBM must have come in alot higher on the power consumption than previously thought. Apple didn't put 9 fans an…

DHagen, Great article and sounds like the best prediction so far, although I do not see the ATI in the 12 inch or 128 Meg of video ram in the 15 or 17 - although it is nice to dream! One thing I was wondering is if Apple will just update the 15 t…

bauman and G5Power: Thanks for the info - I had seen the ppt slide set, but not the other doc. However, these items are all from around the same time frame of 10/15/02. Would like to see numbers on production parts - the only ones I have seen are…

Quote: Originally posted by TheS10th 97 happens to be not far off 42*2. 48.5*2=97, and 48.5 is a logical extrapolation of power consumption for 1 2ghz 970. The Dual system probably does indeed run at 97 watts... total for 2 processors. I don't …

Please remember that the 19 W that everyone talks about is from a prelease marketing document that was created almost 9 months ago. The EEtimes is reporting that a G5 ( presumably the 2 GHz version ) is running at 97 Watts. The marketing document…

Quote: Originally posted by costique Could they mean 2 CPUs, that is, 2 x 48W? At least, that's what I thought remembering IBM's estimate of 42W @ 1.8 GHz. Does anybody know for sure? Good point and this might be true - the numbers seem to fit.…
-
Actually, the clock frequency vs. power consumption curve is not linear - it follows a log curve. And even though the initial specs for the 970 looked promising ( as posted above: 1.8 GHz = 42 Watts // 1.2 GHz = 19 Watts ), these specs were from a …
