Apple will be careful not to up the Xserve speed before the PowerMac because that may cause buyers to hold up on the G5 purchases anticipating a new PowerMac around the corner. Another factor to keep in mind is that Apple needs to protect their Qt…

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer The PowerMac is not held up waiting for a 256MB version of the video card. If Apple placed an order then ATI would supply them. The benefits of that much VRAM are marginal and not worth the cost for most u…

Quote: Originally posted by Smircle This is utterly and completely wishful thinking. There is no way IBM is able to double the clockrate of its CPUs within 12 month. Double? It is 50%. They had 970's running in the lab at 3GHz before they re…

Quote: Originally posted by Michael Grey True but the original Xbox cost almost $400 to make and still sold for under $200. MS told its shareholders that it expected to lose a billion dollars...that's billion with a 'b'...in the first two years.…

Apple's typically kept their music announcements separate from their computer announcements, at least in the last year. While new iPods will be great, faster G5's, xServe G5's, a new eMac/iMac type line on G5's, Powerbooks G5s are what the MacWorld…

Quote: Originally posted by Addison No if it is just speed bumps he won't make an announcement. The Apple store will go down when he stands up and when he sits down the Apple store will come up. I expect we will see some faster PowerMacs for sale…

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer It has become a regular pattern of Apple's to not introduce their winter PowerMac updates at the January MacWorld. There is usually just a speed bump around Jan 21st, or later. Rumours aside, I think its a…

A 2 to 4 GB Digital Camera with DV MP4 recording (QT in almost every DigiCam is Apples baby after all) would be awesome, especially if it has a greater than 3X zoom. At 640x480 with current MP4 at 30 FPS (progressive, not interlaced) you'd get 4 ho…

Quote: Originally posted by shabbasuraj something bigger than 17" will be viable, sooner than later. Whether Apple does it first is debatable. I think before we see anything larger than 17" we will probably see a"foldable" display. A 15" …

Magnesium-Alloy was what the original Next Cube was made of. And, it is mainly used for the internal structure. Apple will probably take their cueing from the iPod. Since the iPod is so successful people will identify the new iMac with it. So ex…

Quote: Originally posted by mmicist This is complicated by the fact that the voltage must also be high enough to cope with the variation in threshold voltage of transistors (the input voltage at which the transistor switches from on to off or vi…

I can't seem to find the original quote, but I came across this in my past research, In the design of pipelined processors, the hardware in each stage is optimized by restructuring logic and tuning transistor sizes to meet the cycle requirement.…

Quote: Originally posted by kupan787 First let me state, I no nothign more than what I think I read. The L3 cache does make a huge difference: A 970 has 52 million transistors. The old P4 (non EE) had only 55 million. So as mmmpie was getti…

Quote: Originally posted by scavanger Supposedly, PCI Express will cost the same if not less then the current PCI standard. Also, PCI Express is an open standard, it isn't owned by anyone. We will most likely see a much larger adoptation of PC…

It makes sense that they would want to first work out any issues with both the G5 architecture and Panther Server. A server release is a lot more sensitive to scrutiny as Apple will be asking corporations to entrust their mission critical data to t…

Basically, my point is that it is not as grim as some make it out to be. The current FSB is more than enough and well balanced with the system it is on, especially when you include such other enhancements such as QE. Can it be better? Yes, it can…
