The 7457 won't be substantially upgraded, other than a die shrink and cache changes. These can be done with little research (ie, investment) and will enable Motorola to continue improving processor speed, albeit slowly, over the next year. They will…

[quote]Originally posted by Bogie: Amorph, I can't argue with you, what you say is dead on. Ever since Apple began developing UMA mobos, it has been in the cards that there would be features in the hardware that would not be enabled by the "s…

Bluetooth as standard, and RendezVous easy connectivity has less to do with connecting to/through and/or syncing with mobile phones than with Switch'n'Use keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, speakers, microphones, pens.... Add to that, C2 conne…

The G3 core will need considerable reworking to be able to run dual or more.... In fact, it will probably be called G3+1 or more... engpjp

Programmer, two questions about SIMD in PPC970: 1) Are you certain that there are two independent SIMD units? with independent registers? the ExtremeTech article says one... 2) are the SIMD units 64 bit too? and do you think they will be able …

A somewhat off-topic comment: It would make better sense, when discussing processor upgrades, to look at the increases *percentage point* wise, rather than in absolute terms. A 20% increase is not bad, all things considered. Comparing it to a …

Although the update of Apple's hardware offerings in January *will* be "one of the greatest in Apple history", there will be a minor one prior to that - but of accessories.... engpjp

New PBs will be released in late January. It'll be part of the "largest hardware upgrade presentation in the history of Apple". The inclusion of Bluetooth in all models bar iBook enables the "desktop" models to be delivered with wireless keyboard…

UMA-2 is indeed a "mythical beast". In 1996, my main source of excitement was the daily read on the webpage of a certain "investment advisor" who specialized in all things Apple. Actually, he specialized in HINTING at all things Apple - all FUTURE t…
