  • Maybe when Steve Jobs said "3ghz G5s by this time next year" in July...he really meant 3ghz G5s in r&d stages at ibm's main facilities in July.
  • Don't expect more than 2.4 ghz.
  • Hulk will smell bad too! Future of the Mac Platform...sounds like Apple's way of saying they'll talk about what they expect to happen over the next year or two, like Mr Jobs usually does when he speaks. He goes on about how this technology will d…

  • Stick to what they said they'll announce or showcase, and you won't go wrong.

  • I think I've figured out a way to figure out what Apple is releasing, ahead of time. Here's how it goes: Make claims; serious sounding claims. Random, recently created usernames making claims. Make sure each one's claim is different from the othe…

  • Here's real-world performance Facts:
  • Oh, and also: I'm sure someone will think my comments are absolutely overflowing with ignorance and foolishness, but that's Your problem, being unable to see some of the possibilities. I have little doubt that Apple is very good at what they do. …

  • The new systems should've had the Apollo 7470. That would've made a huge difference. AGP8X would've been good too, but of course Apple has Always been behind on AGP.
  • Does anyone remember the schematics regarding the G4 in the Motorola pdf, where they showed that the max speed of the 7450 was 1ghz? According to this, and other peoples' claims, the 1.25ghz G4 was just an overclocked 1ghz. If this is true, how does…

  • A single G4 is 1.25, about 5/12 of a single P4, at 3.06. With 2 processors, fine. 10/12 of a single P4, which is almost exactly in tune with the MHZ deficit, when that lightwave 7.5 benchmark is compared. 89 vs 102. Darn close; you'd think altivec d…
  • I am here with a personal request aimed at all applicable persons. Please refrain from using the term "megahertz myth" to defend apple/ibm/motorola in the present, as if the current line of powermacs were in any way faster than current intel/x86…
  • Well that's rather absurd, comparing a future hardware prediction to a disaster prediction that dates back centuries! How can you be so sure one is related to the other to such a degree that they can be compared so accurately in this manner? Perh…
  • I'm most concerned that I'll have to upgrade/get new software for OS X only, and some stuff that I've enjoyed won't work anymore! Like dungeon master II or Simcity 3k, and I'll have to upgrade lightwave and some other graphics apps I use. My fear…
  • I completely agree that the best tactic in figuring out what apple's next move is, is not to read into things at all. When they say they'll have something revolutionary, they'll have something revolutionary, but simply not the thing that you would m…
  • actually I like macosrumors probably the most (when they actually update) of all the rumor sites, because their updates are often so much more Interesting than everyone else's
  • In that case it's a generally biased benchmark; it doesn't note the ram type, it claims that the AE 5.5 used both processors on the mac, it often omits certain things as 'insignificant' or 'no difference at all', and although it isn't necessarily bi…
  • Those comparisons make the G4 look silly though; absolutely, outlandishly Silly. I wonder just how much speed will be gained with ddram though...2.8ghz p4 in sept. Will the new G4s be able to catch up? And if it's so easy to update hardware,…
