I guess I want to contribute my little thoughts on why Apple needs to offer faster chips in the same cycle as Intel and AMD. The chip market I think is far different than what it was when Apple was last competitive. Clearly Apple is going to have…

Thanks Programmer, Amorph, et alii. Your comments have helped me better understand the discussion in this thread. I don't however agree that IBM would license OSX from Apple. IBM went on record with their intent to put the 970 in blades for their…

Maybe Programmer and Amorph or someone can help me understand or establish a better context for what appears to be a discussion on Apple's potential implementation of the 970. Before I state my need for clarification let me say that first, I feel…

Having read the white paper on Eclipse posted at Eclipse.org Eclispse reveals itself to be yet another Java IDE. Open sourceness aside, does Java need another IDE. Whatever the case, this doesn't appear to be a 970 party after all unless there is s…

I just read this article regarding IBM and their Open Source/Linux efforts. Interestingly, Apple's OS was mentioned. "IBM demonstrated its commitment to open source and the Linux platform by highlighting developer successes at the company's annua…

Keep in mind, I am not saying Apple has to open it's entire product line to cloning. You could only get Power Macs, Power Books, iMacs, and iBooks from Apple. What I think is that instead of Apple having to eat the pain of selling the Loss Leader…

Honestly, I never really connected the G5 aka Eleven with the 970. It's just that since this last MacWorld, which contained several announcements that caught most if not all of us by complete surprise, I began to wonder if maybe the Mac Community is…

I see all the different points of view and I think like everyone else I too would love to see the 970 or something comparable in a Mac at my desk like yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't have anything constructive to add, but I would like to ask this…

One other thing. I just noticed a "Why IBM and why now?". Please keep in mind that while Apple, IBM and Motorola developed the Power PC and Book E architectures, they all participated for their own reasons. Motorola and IBM both were vehementl…

I keep seeing references to IBM potentially competing with Intel, whether or not IBM is committed to the 970 and how ultimately, a 970 based Xserve from Apple could find itself toe to toe against 970 solutions from IBM. We have to keep in mind th…

[quote]Originally posted by JCG: ArchAngel, I agree with a lot of what you say. I personally think that Apple should license their OS to IBM for PowerPC corperate sales. This would include servers and desktops, but not 3rd party PowerPC computers. …

From a marketing standpoint, were Apple to execute properly, there could be substantial dividends to getting in bed with IBM. Whether or not Apple has processor speed parity with Wintel, the overall perception that Wall Street, IT Professional/De…

[quote]Originally posted by G-News: With all the info we have now I think it's an IBM 4-way 604e server. People got the old Mac OS to run on these with a lot of hacking, so I wouldn't be surprised if OS X would run as well. Then the movies aren't …

[quote]Originally posted by apple.otaku: One can argue that Apple will need this headroom with the G4s for future iMacs and iBooks/PowerBook while the PowerMacs will get the G5s. I agree. I don't know why people keep assuming that G5s can'…

I could be wrong, but if AIM can release a G5 that at 1.6 GHz is exponentially faster than any vaporware Intel is planning to release, we'll rant and rave about the price, but I can still see lines in the Apples stores and those big fat smiles that …
