[quote]Originally posted by Algol: Wait a minute! You think apple is saving the Xserve update for the 970? After all if they are not why are they not adding the 1.42Ghz to it? mmmmmm We shall see all in good time... Actually, Apple is havin…

Yeah, it will be all about clustering... in time. Think Zilla For those who don't know Zilla, I'll give you a brief rundown of what it was on the NeXT/OpenSTEP machines: Zilla is an OS-level clustering application. This allows any applicati…

The Alpha EV7 will completely blow the doors off of the 970 in every respect.... It's meant to. The chip itself is supposed to compete with the Itanium2 and the Power 4/Power 5 chips. From the SMP marks, it blows all of them out of the water. Al…

[quote]Originally posted by Spartacus: Reply for ED M. They clearly go head-to-head against x86 and Microsoft. They want low-end servers and perhaps desktop working with Linux with their 970. If IBM come out with such a desktop then we will see …

[quote]Originally posted by Outsider: Speculation**** IBM may intend to officially bring the 970 out on 90nm, but for Apple to have some early chips for 1H03 they will release the initial batch on 130nm. From the MPF documents, they [IBM] said t…

[quote]Originally posted by Amorph: So it really doesn't say much, but it sure sounds impressive. I know people really want to believe in IBM after watching Motorola collapse under the pressure of bad management, but remember: IBM invented FUD…

That and encryption. The MPAA is freaking out because HDTV has *really good but still not as good as film* quality that could potentially be saved digitally *gasp*, and shared *gasp* with friends. Admittedly, they do have a point, but encryption …

[quote]Originally posted by Amorph: I don't think Apple is thinking of replacing Ethernet with this tech. It's mostly good for one thing: Low cost clustering. And it's really good at that. You can't daisy chain dozens of Macs together with Eth…

I am not really convinced. IP over FW has been shown before, and it's been met with a lukewarm reception. Firewire cables are too expensive when compared to normal Cat5 ethernet cables, and most offices are already wired for Cat5. Firewire ca…

Adding additional tags for the L3 cache in the 970 would make the chip larger than it currently is, thus driving up cost/heat/power. The L3 would be of minimal benefit, despite the lower latency, and wouldn't cost-justify. -- The Visigothe

DKE has always existed in his own little world. Most of his writings are half of the picture at best, and completely misinformed at worst. There are *many* factual problems with the DKE article, the "double pumped" issue being one of them. MOst of h…
