  • Well, whatever u guys say, it simply doesn't matter. There are threads ten times worse with people quoting that I heard it from a friend which is also very laughable. If u guys like evidence, just read off the press because nobody will like to pre…
    in Apple is going to release G5 in MWSF Comment by tiramisubomb December 2002
  • This thread is based on pure prediction and if I have real info, I don't think I will dare to post it. Sure, u guys have logic that you all believe it won't happen but no body knows for sure. By looking at Motorola development throughout the last …
    in Apple is going to release G5 in MWSF Comment by tiramisubomb December 2002
  • I think MWSF is going to be big: PowerMac Update: New casing fitted with IBM PPC 970 based DP configuration with an initial launch at 1 GHZ - Shipping in Feburary, Firewire 2, USB2, High Bandwidth 6.4GB/sec Bus,(may be scale down version simil…
    in Hardware / Software Blitz in 2003 ? Comment by tiramisubomb November 2002
  • Swtitching to X86 You gotta be kidding, no developer will bother recode applications Windows Steve will not be seduced from the dark side. What is likely happen? 1. Power4 lite version as G5 2. Motorola might release a 10 pipeline G5…
    in Apple on x86: Redux Comment by tiramisubomb September 2002
  • If IBM is producing Apple version of Power4, it will be avialable on January at the latest. Look at Motorola roadmap, they have embedded G5 already, where the heck is their desktop G5. And they have RAPID I/O already, why not just shove it inside…
    in Latest from MacUser on chips... Comment by tiramisubomb August 2002
  • The current G4 has a FSB bandwidth of 1GB/sec. How about Rapio IO compared to IBM PPC 970
    in Will Apple's G5 come from IBM? Comment by tiramisubomb October 2002
  • Never happen. Neither IBM nor Motorola would ever develop a new processor in the hopes that Apple would use it. Speed bumps, yes. A new processor which would mean a significant amount of reworking at Apple? No. This isn't like the peecee market wher…
    in Will Apple's G5 come from IBM? Comment by tiramisubomb August 2002
  • Well, if G5 is a version based on Power 4/5, it will be very interesting, but I still think G5 is probably going to come from Motorola. I believe both IBM and Motorola can offer a build to order option for Apple so that SJ can choose what features …
    in Will Apple's G5 come from IBM? Comment by tiramisubomb August 2002
  • I don't think IBM will supply their Power4 chips for the Mac. The key issue here is the cost. Power requirements and heat dissipation will also lead to design problems. Even if they license Altivec from Motorola, I don't think Apple can afford to…
    in Will Apple's G5 come from IBM? Comment by tiramisubomb August 2002
  • I don't know why everybody still expecting a G4. In a week time, it will be G5 for sure. FOr the last G4 update, Motorola has only added 200 MHZ along with L3 cache. What makes us all think 1.4 and 1.6 GHZ chips are possible. G4 is not even on .…
    in New PowerMacs on August 13? Why not Seybold? Comment by tiramisubomb August 2002
  • IBM manufatures the G5, WHY? Motorola has .13 micron? I believe IBM costs more also. The G5 will also have Altivec too. Isn' t there a license restriction also?
    in G5 earlier than we thought? Comment by tiramisubomb July 2002
  • I don't know why everybody expects a Turbo G4 instead of G5. G3 was released in 1997 and G4 was released in 1999. There has been more than enough time to bring the G5 into the picture. G4 has received a 7 pipelines enhancements with full speed L2…
    in G5 earlier than we thought? Comment by tiramisubomb July 2002
  • Its time for introducing a new G5
    in A few G5 tidbits Comment by tiramisubomb June 2002
  • How much more can you add to a G4 without changing its name? G4 was released originally with only 4 pipelines as the G3, with half speed L2 cache and of course Altivec. FSB and System Bus was originally at 100 MHZ. Since the introduction of 7450,…
    in A few G5 tidbits Comment by tiramisubomb June 2002
  • Due to the different architecture between Intel Pentium and Motorola PowerPC, I can't even tell if Apple was behind at all. Who wouldn't like faster G4? From the snapshot of view, the P4 has numbers in every dept which supersede all categories of …
    in Faster G4 - MOTO 7470 Comment by tiramisubomb May 2002
  • Anyway, just wonder about the Pentium IV, its the architecture the same? Are all the data connect to the front side bus via a bridge like the G4? I knew they have higher speed buses and their Rambus based RDRAM have around 4GB/sec bandwidth. But i…

  • Thank you for all your explanations.

    in A look at the July Power Macs now that we know the Xserve specs Comment by tiramisubomb May 2002
  • The probability of G5 coming out is very high. Despite everything we see so far are all based on Apollo. There are no reason why G5 won't be out. If I remember right, Motorola has HiPerMOS 7 (.13 micron) for 1 year already. As of up to now, the …
    in A look at the July Power Macs now that we know the Xserve specs Comment by tiramisubomb May 2002
  • G5 is definitly coming. MOSR seems to be tip by somebody. All the news about 7470 and 7460 could be just what Apple will designate as G5 chip. Intersting MOSR said significant increase in clock speed also, that sounds more like new pipelines whic…
