[quote]Originally posted by xmoger: Wouldn't we have seen dozens of job openings for chip designers at apple by now though? Not neccesarily. I noticed a while back (on my patent database spree), that Apple had a pretty good graphics chip design…

I would think that it means a significant bump to the PM. What if the bump was, say to 1.4-1.5? What if the nVidia mobo rumor is true, and the basis of Moki's info of the mobo having problems is just that they decided to go with this mobo, cause i…

Ok, I'll ask again. How difficult would it be to put AltiVec on a DSP or coprocessor? If that's doable, combined with RapidIO or HT, then I would think that it wouldn't matter what brand of CPU was used. I really don't think that Apple would go t…

I don't think a change to x86 is in the cards. You need to keep in mind that it isn't the PowerPc that has problems scaling, it's Motorola that seems to be having problems scaling 1 specific implementation - the G4. That could be a design issue …

[quote]Originally posted by rambo47: Apple has said it's going with the G4 for now. So if an IBM-Power4/5 solution is to be, it will be several years before we see it. Years. Does Apple have the sales numbers to convince IBM to make a custom chip f…

[quote]Originally posted by BlueJekyll: Shrey? I agree, and with gcc now able to compile 64bit apps for ppc it seems like something along these lines will happen. The new processor could emulate altivec with 2 interger units... Perhaps A…

[quote]Originally posted by Programmer: The 7450 and 7455 are the G4+, although that term was never officially used. They are the lengthened pipeline versions. Many thanx. I remembered the term used around here by someone relating to a futu…

[quote]Originally posted by warpd: I must say, I found it interesting that MS actually had to step in and help Apple get 10.1 out of the door, and it is true that MS took a lot of flack for the office X delay, when it was clearly the state of Apple…

In light of th expected 20gig upgrade to iPod, I could see a PDA attachment for it. Basically it would be a seperate unit that clipped on and attached via Firewire. This could contain a fast(er) CPU, screen, and small amount of RAM.....20 gig (or 1…

[quote]Originally posted by TexMac: The most immediate economic concern for Apple it seems to me is the fact that they *are* going to introduce the G5 and completely leave G4 users in the dust like they did with G3 when the G4 came out so shortly l…
