If they can feed both 970s at the same time and they can get them cheaply enough, I'm sure you will see duals. Probably not in the first release.

Surfing the web and football. Nothing better on a Sunday. For those too lazy for the link or if they pull it: IBM server chip seen slimmed down for Apple Macs Reuters, 10.13.02, 3:49 PM ET ADVERTISEMENT E-Mail Alerts Companies A…

Not wanting to throw Dorsal posts into the mix, but he did state several months ago that Apple was shipping test mules in RS/6000 form factors booting Darwin only. Maybe the GP-UL is what he was hearing about or POWER4 based mules to get Darwin to w…

If you want to know about disk sizes, monitor Toshiba's micro-drive announcements since they are used in the iPod. After Toshiba announced the 20 GB drive, Apple came out with an iPod using it in a couple of months. I suspect the scroll wheel and…

How about IBM GPUL powered PowerMacs. From Maccentral: Hubbard also said that Apple would continue optimizing and improving Mac OS X's performance while still maintaining compatibility with older hardware. "One of the benefits of working with Mo…

Only the Altivec is 3.2. The 64bit PowerPC stuff is in 3.1 I read on the Darwin lists that 3.3 will be the next version used by Apple.

It's already in GCC due to IBM's Linux support on POWER4. Here's a couple of interesting items on the GNU GCC page: * The PowerPC back end has added 64-bit PowerPC GNU/Linux support. * Aldy Hernandez, of Red Hat, Inc has contributed extensions to …

IBM has spent more than $1 Billion dollars in Linux development. Their head of software even stated that he could see the day an a few years that Linux would replace AIX on their pSeries (formerly RS/6000) servers. Also remember, the POWER4 has b…

That was "confirmed" in the write up about the processor announcement at the Microprocessor Forum: "Breaking Through Compute Intensive Barriers - IBM's New 64-bit PowerPC Microprocessor Peter Sandon, Senior Processor Architect, Power PC Organizati…

Someone has jumped the gun.

Couldn't ApplePI be a bridge chip that is HyperTransport on one side (disks, firewire, communications, PCI, etc.) and RIO (CPUs) on the other. Kind of like what's in the xServe and PowerMac? That would explain why Apple went to this setup now. I …

I'll go for anything as long as the don't name the new GPUL boxes "PowerMac Pro" or "PowerMac Xtreme". I would expect a Good, Better, Best, Ultimate configurations. "Good" would be G4 dualies at $1599 and the rest would go from there. In 12 - 1…

Why would IBM want to buy Apple? They already do so well in the desktop PC business!

this sounds like the Power5 chip that an IBM rep talked about in April.

Phil Schiller is keynote speaker at Seybold. This means no new products announced AT Seybold, but certainly something before it. If SJ was keynoting Seybold, I'd think new products being introduced AT Seybold.

It will probably fail like the others before it. Joe Sixpack will go cheaper and Hardcore Gamer will go for more power and expandability. They won't pay the extra $$ this type solution. Plus it is kind of ugly which will rule out the style conscious…

The original QS (733, 867, and Dual 800) was introduced at MWNY 01. It was speed bumped after MWSF 02. Based on the jumpers and wire patches, this has to be a prototype. Based on the 2001 date, it probably is an old one. Also the construction of …
