This seems to come down to the old argument of which is more important. Total power or the complete package. If the 970 upon initial introduction was only 80% of the fastest Pentium or AMD overall, but provided a "complete" package, that function…

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer Since nobody else has pointed it out, I will: the clock rate of the 970's FSB is completely independent of the speed of memory, AGP, PCI, etc. It is locked to half the processor clock rate, and that's it. …

Quote: Originally posted by KidRed Due to me being technically challenged, can you explain how the bus is 1/4 of the CPU speed but is only double pumped? I thought the bus was 800mhz, that would be quad pumped? Or is it because of duals? I'm miss…

Quote: Originally posted by kupan787 But then why in that same sentence would they mention PC3200 RAM? They definatly meant the speed of the RAM or the FSB. Since they mention BUS, it leads me to believe they are talking about the FSB, not the Ra…

The latest from MacBidouille (google translation). Hopefully one of our many readers, fluent in French, can provide a clearer english representation. Quote: Before coming to the heart of the subject, 3 small things. 1) If you belong to th…

Bare feats has just posted a comparision update between a dual Xeon 2.4, Pentium 4 3.06 and the Current Apple dual 1.42. While I haven't done a detailed analysis of the data, on initial glance it appears that a 970 dual 1.8 may stand up very w…

Quote: Originally posted by Telomar You won't see 2.5 GHz initially. That is correct. All that has been announce is 1.2 to 1.8. Reliable word has slipped out that IBM is experiencing higher then expected yields of faster chips up to 2.5 gh…

Quote: Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg That's not anything at all like what the MacDoobie benchmarks describe. The 'Doobie benchmarks show the low end, 1.4 GHz Mac keeping even with and at times surpassing a Pentium IV, while the high end, du…

Well, macosrumors has weighed in an stated that their sources indicate the benchmarks are close to correct, but not exactly. That is the second site to indicate the same. With those kind of performance gains, I can live with "close or approx…

Quote: Originally posted by DrBoar Is there any info on the IBM 970 blade servers running Linux? If so they should give a good estimate of how the 970 behaves IRL. A google on the subject just turn up the CeBit and the 1.8-2.5 almost 2 month…

The plot thickens. At http://macintosh.fryke.com/cgi-bin/i...t=ST&f=10&t=79 the poster states: Quote: While we cannot confirm the benchmark results for the PowerPC 970 machines posted by MacBidouille (they claim to have machines running…

A little speculation, based upon everything I have pieced together from all the rumor threads and speculation. Current Power Macs 1.0 single, 1.2 dual, 1.42 dual. price points from $1499 to $2699 (US$). New 970 Power Macs 1.4 single, 1.4…

Macbidouille just posted the following correction: (google translation) Quote: A mistake in interpretation slipped into the news of yesterday. The PPC 970 will be shown with the developers with the WWDC and the public the following semane. …

Let's remember that Panther has a lot more to it then just the possibility of being 64 bit. The additional features need more development time. However a patched 10.2.x will run just fine on the 970's with no loss of performance, and a significan…

I think 1.4 to 1.8 ghz. Top 2 models as duals. Entry level model as a single. I like jyd's analogy though. I think that is pretty similar to what we wil see. Tremendous power that goes beyond the apparent speed.

Guess it only figures that someone, not thinking, would figure that would indicate some kind of new Mac. The supposed photos, came from a third party not necessarily directly from Apple. If real, then someone who had access to a "development …
