  • I wouldn't worry too much about this. Apple will holf off release of the updated PowerMacs (either simply a speed bump or something more substantive) until they ARE ready. What may happen is that Apple will annouce additional video card options fo…
    in The "No Speed Bump" scenario... Comment by mslee June 2002
  • the IBM rumor is legit, i think. if you were apple, and IBM had a monster PPC-compliant CPU, wouldn't you persuade them to get into the blade and workstation market with it? Get my drift...

  • I will SH|T happiness if the iMac gets a 133 bus (i have no idea what i will sh|t if it gets a L3 cache) and a GF4MX.
    in New Powerbooks In July ? ? ? Comment by mslee June 2002
  • [quote]Sorry but Athlon processor are hitting the wall. Did you see the real Mhz upgrade ? It's really bad. They're ready for the next gen, they cannot do more with this generation. They even can compete with the PIV anymore. And so here we are... …
    in MacWorld in New York - 2002 is Apple's year Comment by mslee June 2002
  • A 1.5 GHz G4, with the requisite memory bandwidth would give an Athlon a run for its money. No, its not top-flight performance, but until MWSF in 2003, its the best we'll get. The new IBM part we'll see at MWSF (and I am fairly confident IBM is …
    in MacWorld in New York - 2002 is Apple's year Comment by mslee June 2002
  • [quote]Uh, I don't understand. What IBM does with Power won't necessarily trickle down to PPC, and if it does, it's still several years off (we've yet to see anything from Power4 find it's way into a PPC... or have we?) Granted, but the salient p…
    in Apple Developed PowerPC Comment by mslee June 2002
  • my fellow arsian and phoenician Gamblor said: [quote]You've got that backwards. IBM doesn't want to license Altivec, or do anything else that will taint the RISC "purity" of the G3. IBM is moving every bit as fast as they want to, and they're at…
    in Apple Developed PowerPC Comment by mslee June 2002
  • Junkyard Dog said: [quote]Great, so IBM makes a scaled down Power4 CPU for Apple. Apple calls it the G5 and uses it in Powermacs beginning next year. I don't know what it will be called. Furthermore, I dunno if it will be a derivation from P…
    in Something BIG is coming at MWNY Comment by mslee June 2002
  • Finally, some sensible prognostications.... I have received several hints from a single, but very good source, that IBM will be responsible for the next gen PPC. At first this sort of scared me, given IBM's issues with the .13 process with the 7…
    in Something BIG is coming at MWNY Comment by mslee June 2002
  • [quote]USB 2 just sucks, it's very inelegant.. if Apple goes with it, there will be CONSTANT headaches about matching up the correct connectors and backwards compatibility! Don't even lead Apple to believe you want it! What on earth are you jabbe…

    in APPLE ANNOUNCED G5!!!! Comment by mslee April 2002
  • I will say this about the newest round of MOSR rumors: They called Remote Desktop about a week and a half ago. Their prediction was pretty accurate. The Gay Blade (NMR) has been calling for 1.4 GHz G4s for a while now (and even mentioned his …
    in More MOSR News Comment by mslee March 2002
  • Apple attempted to join the Axis of Evil, but they had a preexisting and illegal contract, by which the AOE was prevented from dual-aligning itself with any other OS-maker. EDIT: onlooker beat me to the punch. bastard. [ 03-13-2002: Message e…

    in MW Tokyo G4 Speed Bump or G5 Surprise? Comment by mslee March 2002
  • [quote]I haven't implied the senior marketers don't know what is going on, but their job is to spin information in a way to drive sales this moment. True dat. The point here, folks, is that the executive said no new CPU's and no quandrant updat…

    in Apple starting to clear inventory Comment by mslee March 2002
  • [quote]There's a good chance it would happen, because the Mac OS by pure design takes less power to run than Windows - it's one of the features that allows us to remain competitive on speed despite the GHz-Gap. (Before you attack me, note that I'm n…
    in Why do you think apple haven't dumped MOTO? Comment by mslee March 2002
  • [quote]As long as you keep posting this conclusion of yours in different threads, I'll keep correcting you. Motorola's current chips don't support anything above a 133Mhz bus. Apple is not somehow artificially limiting the bus speed of its Macs. …
