  • If they had not filed with the SEC it would. But they did.

  • An audio update makes a lot of sense, now that the MacOS can handle 96Khz multi-channel audio, it is a good time for Apple to offer high-quality surround sound on its machines. AAC mpeg-4 included in QT6 allows for it also.

  • Max speed for the 7445/7455 for 133Mhz bus is 2GHz (15x bus ratio). I doubt there ever will be a greater bus ratio. IMHO the curent G4 will be pushed no further than 2GHz. There is no point having such a fast CPU on such a slow bus. It will …

    in The G5 and what it means for future Macs Comment by *l++ April 2002
  • x86 processors really have a lot more registers than that, they are just not programmer accessible. Those shadow registers are used transparently (there can be some hinting from the compiler) and actually turn out to work quite well. More bother…

  • I am waiting for the next architecture, not just the G5. I have a sawtooth mac, and for me the next step is not just a faster processor, it is a better architecture. Computers do not age linearly, my 450Mhz machine will probably have aged as much …

  • [quote]Originally posted by RazzFazz: It isn't, by far. Do the maths: 1600 (H) * 1024 (V) * 24 (bits/pixel) * 60 (screens per second) = 2359296000 bits/s. That's more than 5x the bandwidth FireWire has to offer. Bye, RazzFazz It i…

  • Since Philips has sold its music business to Vivendi, and is a large manufacturer of CD-R solutions, it is no longer in its interest to back any CD protection scheme. More importantly no CD can be called a CD if Sony and Philips do not agree it i…

  • Japan is a big Powerbook consumer, so a Powerbook update at Tokyo's show makes a lot of sense.

  • [quote]Originally posted by apple.otaku: This is a sad day for Apple. Where the hell is the Apollo? I want my 1Ghz PowerBook! If you call Apollo the SOI, .18µ version of the G4, then this is Apollo. I believe there are two Apollo's, the 7455 …

  • [quote]Originally posted by JLL: No, no. The original G4 does 917 MIPS @ 500MHz which theoretically is 1834 MIPS @ 1GHZ thus making the MPC7455 24.3% faster. My mistake, you are right.. I must have skipped a row.

  • [quote]Originally posted by Moogs ?: What are you suggesting by this? Is it even correct (the way I've interpretted it above)? Are you basically saying the new GHz chip is not twice as fast as my 500 MHz 7400/7410 CPU, but rather closer to 3.5 …

  • The other interesting thing to note is that their is not dearth of 1GHz chips. Apple would never have offered the fastest chip in a dual chip configuration otherwise. This means that they must be getting quite a number of chips that clock faster…

  • This computes to the new 7455 1GHz G4 corresponding to 1.262GHz previous generation(7450/1) G4 and a 1.834GHz original (7400) G4. I guess the G4 has come further than we all tought.
