Quote: Originally posted by admactanium either way, it's a bit sketchy marketing-wise to just call the new chip a g6 out of the blue. and it would actually probably be somewhat bad press since it would have "obsoleted" the g5's after just one yea…

Quote: Originally posted by nathan22t I think the PowerMac7,3 could be a minor internal rev of little consequence. But the inclusion of Neo (original PM G5 codename) and 2 indicates that the 8,1 is the sequel to the Powermac G5 and not an iMac…

Quote: Originally posted by tad44 PowerMac7,2 is current PowerMac G5. We haven't seen PowerMac7,3. RackMac3,1 is Xserve. What the *** is PowerMac8,1??? Good question. I would've guessed 7,3 to be the next faster chip. Same question as …

Quote: Originally posted by SeanL shaktai, My point was that if it was going to be the 970, they could have done that already. If there was sufficient supply for it to be the 970fx, why would the G5 xserve still be backordered? Pretty much…

Quote: Originally posted by SeanL Seems either there is a 970 supply problem (or other component), or the towers will have something other than a 970 or 970fx in them...very soon? I will agree there is a supply problem and it is one that Appl…

You have to remember that all perception of speed is relative. Every person here will have a different perception of what matters to them. The reality is that no OS will do everything exactly the way that everybody wants it. There is always give…

Well let's keep in mind that the developer of Xbench is doing his best to optimize, with what he knows are obvious areas, but doesn't even have a G5 to work with. Cut the guy some slack. Besides, just look at the variances. That right there te…

Amazing, so much furor over slapped together benchmarks that mean nothing. We don't even know what the testing conditions were. A couple of apps optimized (if at all) for a completly different chip running on a patched OS, and it "only" held its…

And lets not forget the benefits of a head start on products that will take advantage of the G5. By the time the G5 is actually available in volume, we will already begin to see products optimized for it. (software, components, etc.) This is a goo…

First, there are no perfectly fair benchmarks. Never have been, never will be. All platforms have their strengths and weaknesses, including the G5. You could theoretically create a test that would even allow a Celeron to beat everything out ther…

I think that a lot of the problem with the benchmarks from both Windows and Mac Users, is the issue of Apple in the past pushing Altivec performance as being representative of the G4's performance, which it was not overall. Now I think a lot of pe…

It does seem that a jump from 2.0 ghz to 3.0 ghz would be a pretty amazing job. I don't think that th 970 is an interim chip at all. While I am not optimistic of it reaching 2.5 on the 130nm process. 2.2 or 2.3 wouldn't surprise me though. …

Okay, the minimalist design is not what I expected, but it grows on you. I can live with that if it means better cooling and half the noise. Sometimes style must give way to functionality. In a way though, the style does say, "kickass raw pow…
