>>> Note that the deal does not put any obligation on Apple to accually purchase the CPUs. Exactly. My thought was Apple is just covering their ass, in case there are issues with Intel production. They've been bitten too often by the…

on a related note, re: TPM, apparently someone's already hacked the existing OSX x86 to run on generic hardware: http://www.hardmac.com/niouzcontenu....005-08-10#4352 from their notes, it seems to run fine on certain motherboards, but not all,…

re: why windows releases take so long, i think there are two issues there: 1) much more varied hardware to test on. ie: thousands of variants of PC clone components, vs apple's controlled hardware platform. 2) the house of cards effect arisin…

i had the same thought as programmer. i was honestly surprised by the announcement. given the work required for the switch (marklar is just a piece of the pie), apple tech must find intel's upcoming products very compelling. especially given the …

seriously OT, but... Quote: i wonder why the Emperor after episode 3, before episode 4, essentially stopped using clone army? it all evolved into stormtroopers i assumed that the stormtroopers are still the clones, just in white armor. that …

Quote: Originally posted by Outsider maybe IBM is thinking of scrapping 90nm all together and going to the next step down, 65nm, for the end of the year with a slow migration to 45nm in 2007-08. re: twice the issues at 45nm, no doubt it will …

i haven't seen anyone mention the macrumors story on IBM's 45nm fab plans: macrumors: IBM plans for 45nm IBM's certainly had trouble with 90nm, but Toppan may bring tech to the table that helps them move forward. 45nm production not schedul…

Quote: Originally posted by imiloa all this means more future R&D money for the PPC architecture, from which apple will benefit, even if as a small fish in the market pie. in anticipation of the rebuttal: yes, MOT's R&D focus on thei…

Quote: Originally posted by mikenap i smell roses for Apple with IBM's success in gaming chips. I dont believe it will stifle development of the Apple parts, but enhance there dev with better tech, more funds for R&D, etc. i feel the same…

indeed, there's a market for such a device. and like the ipod, a must-have apple solution could help sell more macs. unfort, we all know steve's view on television. so his ego, alone, may crush any hope of such.

re: hardware being relevant to developers, it depends on what's in the oven. if just a speed-bump to existing architectures, then i agree the developer utility is low. but if it were some major shift in architecture, say 970MP, then it would be …

does anyone know the 9650 tech specs? it's not listed on ATI's site.

i think dawg hit it on the head. (wintel fan boy syndrome.) if there's any substance to such a rumor, my take is that it's not apple abandoning PPC, but rather considering going cross-platform to expand it's user base into x86 land. the compl…

on the upside, note how quietly apple released this powermac update. didn't even displace tiger from the main frame on the home page. as someone noted in another thread, this is just a parts update. ie: low-energy speed bump for apple. so it…

Quote: Originally posted by PB Actually I am a bit surprised that they did not already in Tiger, but then who knows what IBM would charge them for that? actually, given that IBM is in the biz of selling CPUs, apple could probably work a decen…

we pretty much know the 970MP is coming, via the doc slip on IBM's own site. given the specific detail on thermal characteristics in that doc, it seems likely that they have long since sampled, and production can't be far off. other factors of p…
