Imagine Ford promised that in 4 months it would sell a truck with 5% more horsepower and 5% better fuel economy at the same price as current models. How would that effect current sales? Now imagine Ford promised that in 4 months it would sell a t…

The 74XX won't narrow the gap with the PC world, but it will be welcomed by Apple wherever economy and power-consumption matter. So in October, envision a line-up like this: Xserve: dual 1.6 7457 Powerbook: 1.3 - 1.6 7457 iMac: 1.3 - 1.6 745…

"with production expected to commence in Q4 2003." That's a long time to wait for something so underwhelming.

I imagine that a G6 with altivec would do quite nicely in tablets and inexpensive notebooks.

The state of the rumors in early January was that the 7457 would debut in the powermacs. When that didn't happen, rumors began to build that bastardized 7457s would appear in the iMac. Of course that didn't happen either. What's going on? We…

It would be a beautiful thing to be able to surf the web on a tablet with 6" X 9" screen while sitting on the john. If that image is a bit much, how about surfing on your iPad while sitting next to your wife who's watching tv. Or hitting the web i…

If PC 3200 is the fastest memory we can expect in 2003, and if it can barely keep up with a SINGLE 970, then isn't it highly unlikely that we'll see DUAL 970s in 2003?

We might as well included an infrared port to turn it into the ultimate remote.

[quote]Originally posted by muah: ... I would think that is a tricky situation when you debut a "best" system with a single 1.8 Ghz 970 system next to a dual 1.42 Ghz G4 at "better". Avoiding this marketing difficulty is one reason why we'l…

I assert that any canabilization which would result from the release of a low end tower would be more than made up for by increased sales from other consumers. For many people, the choice is not between iMac or Tower, but between Mac and PC. My …

Well, this thread went to shit in a hurry.

The East Fishkill plant seems intended for sub 130nm chips. I also gather that IBM will move the 970 to 90nm rather quickly. Now I don't know the economics of fabrication, but I wonder if IBM might surprise everyone by skipping 130nm altogether.…

Yes I know it's a bit silly to ask when an unreleased product will be upgraded, but I'd like to hear some guesses on when IBM will move to .09. Is there much cost involved in moving from .13 to .09? Could IBM save costs by leapfrogging .13 and go…

[quote]Originally posted by moki: Also, there is more to this whole 970 thing than has been announced... Like how quickly IBM will ramp up production and move past .13 microns?

From the article: [quote]On a final note, I should point out one reason that the 970's pipeline is a little shorter than the P4's: the 970's pipeline lacks the "drive" stages, which the P4 inserts in order to allow signals to propagate across th…

I also agree with you... but the problem, for me at least, is that the two markets hit above and below me while abandoning the middle. The fact that the cheapest current tower is $1699.00 is ridiculous. What I want is a "budget" box. Now Apple i…

I don't want an All-in-one. I won't need and probably can't afford a dual 970. I hope to see a Basic Box, i.e., no flashy case, with a single 1.2 Ghz 970 priced competively with a Dell 2.53 Ghz p4.
