The 970 @ 1.2 GHz will be about 20 Watt, I doubt that's hot. IBM will produce them in their new fab, on the 0.13 process and 300 mm wafers. So thes should be able to put quite a few of 970s on a wafer (which means lower price) and at 1GHz (if they p…

[quote]Originally posted by Chucker: Back to the HAL. Supposing it's still available under 2000 (NT 5.0) and XP (NT 5.1), exactly at what point does it "abstract" the hardware? My guess is that it'll make mostly the same code run on any NT platform…

[quote]Originally posted by Programmer: I just don't really see any big advantages to doing so. I completely understand the implications of WINE, emulation for x86 binaries, etc and while it's of course not the "killer app" (like you said slow…

[quote]Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon: Hmmm...no needy XP, win95 et al? So that's sans baggage and performance penalty in this 'emulator'? So, could the app, in theory, be re-compiled onto PPC? Or would the x86 binaries still need to be emul…

[quote]Originally posted by JLL: Because Wine Is Not an Emulator - it needs an x86 processor to run. Wine is a complete rewrite of the win32 libraries - material that can be used for a Win32 emulator without the need of a WinXX copy installed …

[quote]Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon: ...and could this 'Windows compatability layer' mean 'Marklar'? which would mean that we were wrong in presuming Marklar is OSX on x86 but rather win32 on ppc. which would make MS angry. quite angr…

[quote]Originally posted by Krassy: hmm? i want to hear more of this. i don't believe that apple choosing Mach and this OS9/OSX "bootability" has something to do with each other... well, in a discussion about OSX speed compared to a BSD system…

For one I think booting might be faster if the firmware supports OSX only. Second thing which I am not sure about - I heared Mach was selected because Apple needed to run basically two systems, OS9 and OSX. Now if Apple goes all OSX with no mo…

I think it's also partly due to the fact that ATI had messed up drivers unlike nVidia with their unified driver architecture which allowed them to ship the GeForce3 on the Mac first. ATI rewrote their drivers for the 9700 again so this may have caus…

What I am wondering is how far the 7455 can go in first place - I think I saw someone post that 1.25 is it's maximum speed (at the possibility that it's already a tad "overclocked"). If that is true and if the 7457 wont arrive until Q203 - does it m…

[quote]Originally posted by Scott: Yea and the G4 was supposed to ship at 500MHz I don't think IBM has as many problems manufacturing their chips as Motorola has. Besides, they just finished a new fab in East Fishkill, so I don't see a pro…
