Here is my WAG (Wild Ass Guess): New Mac Pro next month with a slight re-design, its not like apple hasn't already had the time. Lets face it though the current Mac Pro layout is nearly optimum as far as layout and nice features go (come on the SAT…

I doubt they would get a pre-release GeForce or Radeon HD part into their system. Apple can get Intel to do things like that, but Apple cant threaten to go to another company if they don?t get special treatment. Besides do you even want a GPU at lau…

Soo... Why no talk about the rest of the platform and just the CPUs? No one actually thinks it will be dual quad core 3.2 Ghz top to bottom do they? They are probably just buying up a bunch of the 3.2s because with a new Mac Pro platform (not ju…

1) yes it is cracked and it runs fine under VMware with some coaxing and patching. just dont expect sound or acelerated desktop (or networking for that matter). 2) yes it works on SOME AMD athlon or duron boxes with some patching a coxing. 3) does…

Since Apple is probebly going to use Intel wireless chips, that meens the onlything coming down the pipe anytime soon would be WiMax and 802.11n support (once it gets ratified). Its not cost effective to make dedicated silicon for a non-standard ne…

Quote: You've never been anywhere near a manufacturing plant or even spoken to someone who has. The process to manufacture a CPU doesn't just take a couple of days. From tape out, you need to make a mask of the design to begin with. This is a slow …

Ok time for some corrections from a Intel Insider. Merom is a 65nm Pentium M deritivitive. It does not appear to be netburst (pentium 4) based. It includes SSE3 extensions but merom (this is NOT the dektop version of the processor) does NOT inc…

Tivo stores files using a propetary form of mpeg 2 on their files not viewable, normaly, by computers. When you transfer from TiVo to Windows TiVo removes its protection, streams the show, and Windows TiVo Desktop adds a "secure" DirectShow wrapper …

Take all speculation with a grain of salt. I am just basing this on what confidential stuff I know from Intel, Apple's product line and how it has evolved in the past, and what would be the most logical. Judging by how pissed Jobs was at IBM durrin…

I dont have a Mac. Do I need to make a signature that says it? I just hope that it isnt as sensitive or picky as PC ones, which it probebly is because most of the whitebooks I sell are Asus or Quanta and use the same basic trackpads (abit with d…

This is another one of those cases about Apple people showing how little they know about the IBM compatable world. Integrated graphics are cheap "good enough" products that run cool and with low power. In reality these are excelent results for a In…

Quote: Originally posted by g3pro Apple is going for price/performance at the moment. The pro line will be the last to switch. Not really. Centrino has a price/performance the G4 cant beat. Yes it costs more, but you get a 30%+ performance i…

Lets see benchmarks, cant give those out under NDA. but I can tell you stuff from Sonoma and other Intel dual core chips. Yonah is a die shrink, a few improvements to the FPU+media extentions, and the option of having a second core. Cant tell you …

track stick, I think the people who made trackpads should be shot. They are never good for controling a mouse, nice for shortcuts and scrolling though. They are always either to sensitive or not sensitive enough. Come on with a trackpad you either …

Oh wait I CAN tell you that intel is going to give final hardware to OEMs in October or November, launch the platform in Janurary, and products will be avalible at launch (probebly HP, Toshiba, and the usual out the door quick companies) or a month …

Intel has had Yonah samples for its OEMs for 3+ months now. At Spring ICC 05' they basicly said it was done, they are just waiting to release it because they dont NEED to release it right now. Oh and they are waiting for the A/B/G/WiMax chip to fin…

Quote: The first PowerBook to sport an Intel processor is not expected until July 2006 at the earliest. I can tell you that this statement is 100% wrong. Yonah is already done and is sampling at Intel (has been that wasy since March). Jobs said …
