  • I'm not very impressed by this article as it contains a number of statements that are definately not correct. Some have already been mentioned here, here are some other points: - The PowerPC 602 was never used in the Nintendo64. The N64 used a bo…

  • the store is now down in germany, belgium, the netherlands, france, australia, austria, hong kong, china, denmark, japan, ... i'd say there is definately something on the way..... [ 08-13-2002: Message edited by: haderach ]
    in German Apple Store down due to maintenance ... :-) Comment by haderach August 2002
  • Now some of the details I reported some time ago are official (www.motorola.com): Embedded e500 Book E compatible core available from 600 MHz up to 1 GHz *\t32-bit, dual-issue, superscalar, seven-stage pipeline *\t1850 MIPS at 800 MHz (est. D…

  • They say the drive uses the Oxford 911 bridge chip, here are the specs: Oxford 911 Data Sheet IEEE1394 to ATA/ATAPI Native Bridge - the technical stuff... Features \tÂ*\tÂ* *\tS400 (50 Mbs) compliant 1394-1995 Link and Transaction layers *\…
    in No real proof, but sign of FireWire 2? Comment by haderach July 2002
  • [QUOTE]Originally posted by THT: It doesn't make sense for APUs to be connected by the Ocean fabric. APUs have to be directly connected to the e500's dispatch unit, completion unit and registers. So they must be inside the e500 core itself. I …
    in MacWorld in New York - 2002 is Apple's year Comment by haderach June 2002
  • There will be an e500 core based desktop processor based on Apple's requirements. The e500 core is a 7 stage pipeline design very similar to the 7455 core (they both get about 2300MIPS). The execution units are very similar, in quantity and performa…

    in CONFIRMED: G5 enters volume production! Comment by haderach June 2002
  • Just a few comments: - I heard about further instructions to be added to the PPC instruction set some time ago, those instructions were neither BookE compliant nor part of IBM Fast Path. Maybe they're what we call Apple PI here - as far as I reme…
    in CONFIRMED: G5 enters volume production! Comment by haderach June 2002
  • This is all very exciting. I got much information about Motorola G5 processors so far, but until now no one I know could confirm that one of these chips will be used by Apple. On the other hand I haven't (yet) found somebody who was able to confirm …
    in CONFIRMED: G5 enters volume production! Comment by haderach June 2002
  • Here I am again, with some more information about the G5 and other hardware. I must say that it is very hard to get inside info, everything related to the G5 and RapidIO is covered by NDAs at Motorola. Unfortunately I have no inside information from…
    in CONFIRMED: G5 enters volume production! Comment by haderach June 2002
  • Sorry that I didn't have the time to write during the last few weeks. Now I'm back and I have some further information which might be interesting. 1. Motorola shipped prototypes of the current G4 with DDR L3 cache in mid 2001. 2. Motorola prod…
    in G5s at MWSF 2003 Comment by haderach June 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by powerdoc: Intel and AMD where the first to introduce SIMD unit in their chips... No, x86 was not first. The first SIMD implementation was SUN's VIS (Visual Instruction Set) in the UltraSparc series CPU.
    in Demented speculation... Comment by haderach May 2002
  • Very interesting - the upcoming servers next week may tell us much about the MWNY PowerMacs (I supposed there will be a motherboard revision in July). As far as I have heard Motorola is ready to ship 1.2 Ghz G4 processors, although I do not know …
    in Rackmounts Coming Comment by haderach May 2002
  • I used the images posted here to put the mysterious board into a current. I flipped the picture, and I measured the board using the PCI slots. In an earlier post I stated that this board is larger than previous boards, but after measuring eve…
    in Is this a hoax? Comment by haderach May 2002
  • Some points I noticed: - The image is not flipped, take a look at the graphics card slot and you will see compare it with the one in your current G4. - The board seems to be much larger than current boards (width and height). I wonder why. …

  • This does not mean that there is no G5. Go to Motorola's career site and serach for e500, Ocean or MPC8540, and you will find no results. Nevertheless this does not mean that these are not being developed. Motorola seems to look for an engineer f…
    in some insight into upcoming PowerMacs? Comment by haderach April 2002
  • I think there will be some more updates to the G4 processor. Why did they call the Apollo6 the 'MPC7455' instead of 'MPC7460' ? If you continue in steps of 10 this would only have left space for 3 future versions (7470, 7480 and 7490). I've heard…
