The idea that IBM's estimate would be off by roughly a factor of two doesn't make sense. The idea that the 970 would consume nearly as much power as the MUCH more complicated POWER 4 doesn't make sense. Conclusion: the eeTimes writer mistaken…

Oh, boy. Apparently, it does matter to you, otherwise you wouldn't have gone off on that rant... Do you have a cogent response, preferably something that doesn't involve childish ridicule? 48.5 watts seems a hell of a lot more reasonable to …

Quote: Regarding the veracity of the IBM numbers: those numbers are from 9 months ago and not on shipping product. They most likely are based on estimates from simulation. Would it make sense, though, that IBM, of all organizations, would be off…

A few questions about that graph: 1. Where did you get 30 watts at 1.2GHz? I can find a reference for 97 watts, but 30 is new to me. 2. I thought the 97 watt figure had been dismissed as the eeTimes' writer confusing the total consumption f…

Apparently Apple has other ideas... Just received the ADC newsletter, and in it is a link to the following hardware: http://www.magma.com/pci/7slot6466/ This certainly suggests that Apple is just going to rely on 3rd parties to provide exte…

Quote: The PowerBooks and iMacs are stuck at 1GHz until the 7457 comes along (assuming it does). The faster chips in the G4 Power Macs are high-voltage parts that require the massive heat sinks in the MDD. You won't see those in the iMac or a lapto…

It's the cheesegrater. Gotta be. Although, this: Quote: Norelco Mac. Is pretty damn funny.

Quote: no, that would hurt in store sales of the available powermacs. Uh, we've had many reports that the current powermacs have been EOL'ed...

Somebody at Apple slipping up and posting specs for new G5s isn't "solid and consistent" enough for you? That's the best evidence we've ever received before a product announcement...

Quote: then by tommorrow you will get a machine that is faster then the fastest mac you can buy TODAY for a $900 price drop. The problem is, at $1500 the price/performance premium for the Mac over the Dell PC mentioned in this thread is about 50…

Quote: ive gleaned from other rumour boards that this "GOBI" chip that has altivec built-in will range from 1.4-2ghz! and have a FSB IN THE 400-450 mhz range. For this to be true, the leaked specs would be: 1.6-2.0GHz-- RIGHT. 1GHz bus-- …

JMoney's right ON the money. Think bunnies. Vorpal bunnies. Mark my words...

Well, damn. Strike the vorpal bunny then. He's gonna be pissed...

fishdoc, I already explained (since my second post here) what I meant by "average", and yet you've doggedly stuck to an interpretation which is much more strict than what I intended. Give it a rest.

Quote: He said that it's nothing that anyone's expecting. It must be a vorpal bunny then, because on this board alone you can find someone who's expecting damn near everything and anything...

Just for the record: I'd LOVE to see the low end G5 PM at $1299. I just don't think Apple will price them that low. I suspect that the PM's will never competitive on that level, but we may see the return of a small headless machine with limit…

I think you've missed my point. Most people are going to buy a computer based on a list of hardware features like the Dell Fred posted, and price. For PCs that's fine, because there's really nothing else to differentiate them from one another. Th…

How would you define it then? I'm taking a "casual" user as someone who's going to compare specs and use it as their primary measuring stick for determining which machine to buy. Such a person is likely not going to buy a Mac, because they most li…

Quote: IMESHO, that's about where you separate the casual buyer (me) from the power buyer (some other dude). Even in their wildest dreams, Apple isn't going to appeal to the "casual" buyer (if by "casual", you mean "average"). The best Apple c…

I'd love to think that the prices would stay the same (or even-- dare I say it? drop), but, c'mon. This is Apple we're talking about here. A move to previous price points is probably going to happen (1699,2299, & 3299, right?). Quote: Now …
