Does seem like a good processor, made by some experienced and sharp folks. I remember the Alpha being way ahead of its time on release, just not having a market foothold (like Betamax). That said, from the literature, this companies focus seems …

Quote: Originally posted by noirdesir No, I think it means that the four processor (core) machine with 1MB of L2 cache under (probably) ideal conditions is about twice as fast a similiarly clocked dual processor machine (4*2.5 = 1.88*2*2.7, LinP…

Quote: Originally posted by KidRed I won't not assume that the current releases would be slower then the ones they replace, but what does a single 2.3 dual-core compare to? A dual 2.3? A dual 2.5? Given that the 2.5 Quad is only 40-70% faster…

Quote: Originally posted by BRussell Oof. That's ugly. Guess I'll wait until Intel comes. Why ugly? For 15", you now get everything in the former $2300 model for $2000, plus: -- 128MB graphics memory, vs 64MB -- 25% more screen pixels …

Does the longer battery life suggest a new 7448? Maybe not, due to same 333 RAM Mhz bus?

ps: occurs to me such events may take the place of the former macword NY events. ie: USA-based hardware introductions offset from MWSF.

largest booth in the show. they must expect to have some serious crowds playing with the new hardware. the attendees might even notice the new software, too.

Quote: Originally posted by steppenwolf That's great. If I still owned a PC, I would be interested in that, but since I only own a Mac mini at home now, I'll be hoping the chip that card is based on makes it into a Powerbook someday. Regard…

Early reports suggest the ATI x1800 XL (w/ recent driver update) bests the nVidia 7800. Sadly, I can't find the link I read right now. In my PC experience, nVidia has been much more reliable driver-wise, while ATI has had the edge visually. Reg…

Thanks for the prompt info, folks! I'll try to pass the 14-day word on to my housemate before she opens the box. Sounds like Gandalf got lucky even with an open box.

i guess this means steve finally got over his bias against TV and its convergence with PCs. and the PCI-express update definitely gives some credibility to the TS rumor of new powermacs next week. they can't let the iMac be the monster of the li…
