It is seems like Apple's reliance on Moto could end as soon as the 970 gets the updated process. 970+ will enable PB's, the iBook G3's are 750's made by IBM, this chip may get Altivec. The iMacs will continue with speed bumped 'cough' 7457's may…

Quote: Originally posted by shetline Leaving aside whether the rumor has any value or not... I've got an 800 MHz TiBook now. I'm eager for the Rev B of the 12", and a 7457 G4 with DVI would be quite enough to make me happy right now. As for…

Quote: Originally posted by Addison According to Macuser UK Apple is trying to hit a January MWSF release for a G5 PowerBook. It seems to suggest that a down clocked version would reduce the heat problem to the level of the G4. I am sure any G…

Quote: Originally posted by THT Do you, and others, really think that 1.4 to 1.6 GHz 7457 CPUs will be an affordable option for the iMacs? These would be the top of the 7457 CPUs, and if Apple can't get them for less than $200, it isn't going to …

Quote: Originally posted by Yevgeny Aside from the lack of a motherboard to put the 970 on. Mobo's aren't trivial- they take time and money to create. By the time Apple has one for laptops, the 970 will be getting a smaller process. A 1GHz G5 …

Quote: Originally posted by @homenow It would be a bad marketing move for Apple to stick with a 1.2 model iMac for the next revision if the 7457's were available at speeds up to 1.6, and these were released as upgrades for previous G4 computers. …

I realise this is a tight timeframe - but getting the G5 into the PB by MWSF would awesome (as usual we will have to wait for delivery sometime later by end of Q1 04). We could get 1.6G PB's straight off the bat!, maybe have 1.33-1.42 7457's for …

Quote: Originally posted by snoopy When discussing slower chips we could be talking about two different things. Taking a chip rated at 1.2 GHz and running at 1.2 GHz, it may dissipate say 28 Watts. However, by taking a chip rated at 1.8 GHz and…

Quote: Originally posted by Ensign Pulver I, for one, don't think this is true. The Powerbooks are now lagging behind their Wintel counterparts in clock speed, actual speed and battery life. This will not change until the .09 G5s and/or fuel cell…

Quote: Originally posted by THT My conclusion, at 1.3 GHz maximum power consumption for the 1.1V 970 is 34 Watts while the 1.3V 7457 is 26 Watts. Put the 970 in the iMac and Powerbook. Good work THT, of course Im sure these figures are fairl…

Quote: Originally posted by DrBoar G4 better integer than G5? A IBM 970 at 1.2 GHz should have a SPEC200 integer score of 624 a score a Motorola G4 attains at 2.1 GHz Even if the real differenece would be less due to nonoptimal compilers and…

Quote: Originally posted by Rolo They were simply announced with a press release. Unless Apple plans on announcing a G5 PB at Macworld Paris, there's no need to wait for a big event to announce what amounts to a speedbump for the PBs. Most r…

Quote: Originally posted by pscates This is actually a good thing: probably means Apple would - as I hoped yesterday - rather wait a bit and go with the 7457 chip. So when the new PowerBooks DO come, you'll have a faster, cooler, more efficien…
