Quote: Originally posted by PB Electric Monk's prediction is the most reasonable. The 8641D would require a complete logic board re-design in order to work in a Powerbook. And there is no way Apple will do two major such re-designs in one or two …

Could the CPU be a CELL-processor jointly developed from IBM and Sony? Rooster

[QUOTE]Originally posted by rickag [B]True, but the G4 needs expensive L3 cache to boost performance, let alone any speculation on yield issues. I`m not sure if the L3 ram is realy so extreme expensive. Perhaps sombody can elaborate on the pri…

Quote: Originally posted by Matsu NO, absolutely not. This an illusion created by the lack of a credible high end pro machine. Ironically, it limited the ability of consumer machines, not so much to get faster, since the pro chips were there, b…

Back at the begining. I have found this at: http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG20030331S0019 RapidIO will tie together Motorola's PowerQuicc, C-Port and PowerPC G4 families, he said. Looks like the G4 family will get RapidIO. Rooster

[quote]Originally posted by tiramisubomb: Despite many of you continue to expect Motorola to roll out G4-7457 due to recent road map leaks from Moto itself, it looks more than certain that Apple top line machines will sport PPC 970 badged as G5. I…

[QUOTE]Originally posted by HOS: [QB] Don't forget that RIO is a switched bus- this means that any two (unique!) given devices can talk together with full theoretical bandwidth between them. So, for example, if the HDD needs to write to RAM, th…

Still longing for more processor performance from the latest PowerMacs before you buy one? Well, if a Dual 1GHz model with 133MHz SDRAM doesn't impress you, how about a Dual 1.4GHz beast employing powerful new PowerPC 7500 processors and screamingly…
