    in NASA Tests The New PowerMac G5 Comment by moki July 2003
  • 1) All of these tests were single-CPU tests. If they had a multi-threaded benchmark, or the benchmark was multi-processor aware, you could expect to see significant performance gains from the G5 specs 2) They are using an old Jet3D binary, one …
    in NASA Tests The New PowerMac G5 Comment by moki July 2003
  • There's a difference between a CPU having 128 bit registers (as the G4 has had with its AltiVec core for some time) and a CPU having 128 bit general purpose registers and 128 bit memory addressing. The former is in-use and useful right now; the l…

    in Panther Benchmark Shows 40% Quartz Speed Boost Comment by moki July 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by COS Having read otherwise, I assumed that he was thinking that Panther would come in August because the G5s were scheduled to arive in August. While I can't discuss Panther, we have a hardware rep at Apple that we o…
    in Panther on G5 in August? Comment by moki July 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by TheFixer Wow! $2,344 dollars for a dual Opteron, 1GB of memory, 40GB HD and a 52x CD-ROM? Colour me not impressed. Sure the dual 2GHz by Apple is more expensive, but you get a hell of a lot more for the money. "D…

  • Quote: Originally posted by dfryer I would agree that the "new Tabs" are not visually distinct enough from buttons, and add to interface confusion. The old tabs had a more distinctive geometry, but still looked fairly "button-ish". Yeah, whi…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Nebrie Nope it was just MacWhispers who kept touting cheaper G5 chips. In the exact same thread at MacRumors, the MacWhispers guy also trashed every rumor site out there as utter bs while touting his own rumors as the…
    in Wasn't the 970 Supposed to be Cheaper? Comment by moki June 2003
  • Consider: We went from a 166mhz FSB to a 1ghz FSB, a change of a bit over 5x. We nearly quadrupled the SPECint performance of the highest-end G4, and nearly sixtupled (is that a word?) the SPECfp performance. ...and that just scratches the su…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo Sure, the G5 chips are technically less expensive than the G4's, I keep hearing this repeated, but I've yet to find a credible source that states the G5 chips are cheaper than similarly high-end G4 chips (a…

    in have you seen this sketch already? Comment by moki June 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Matsu SO, eeexcelent news in the form of PPc970 monsters has arrived. 1.6SP-2.0DP with 8GB RAm and fully modernized I/O. But what about the prices? No cryptic messages. No veiled statements. No name, no slogan. …
    in Yeah, but what about PRICES! (new dance pending) Comment by moki June 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Shaktai I am still curious as to what it is you think I will be disappointed about. Is it that I expected too much? Or perhaps I expected too little? "What" is the wrong "W" word.
