Quote: Originally posted by THT You know. Looking the kodawarisan pictures again, I think you are correct. The 970fx air flow is cooled by the small fan on the very top. Mea culpa. By removing the hot power supply and the TFT panel from the …

Chipworks discovered that IBM does not use all the fabrication techniques they said they'd use on the 970FX. It seems to Chipworks that IBM is largely using their 130 nm technology just shrunk to 90 nm with less than great results. My conclusion is …

If the Cell cores are PowerPC, cheap and high frequenzy is there a possibility that we might see Cell based accelerator cards? If ATI thinks they can use the main RAM as VRAM using the high bandwidth PCIe bus, woundn't it be possible to strap on a d…

Quote: Originally posted by a j stev Not this matters much...if IBM gets its act together within the next 6 months with the 970FX at 0.9v, Freescale will be missing the boat...just like its parent company Moto. I agree somewhat. I find it har…

Quote: Originally posted by PB That's exactly the problem. The 440 core, if I am not mistaken, cannot exceed 700 MHz in clock frequency. You can of course use many of them (4?) in a Powerbook and have a strong system, but only when you run specia…

Quote: Originally posted by PB I am not so sure about that. It is true IBM has already experience in dual core designs, but this has only to do with server chips. Note entirely true, they have experience with custom ASIC designs based on embed…

Quote: Originally posted by hypoluxa what is the use of a dual core? what does it mean exactly as far as performance? This has been the topic many times before. In short: It means little in repect to performance but it means a lot i repect t…

Quote: Originally posted by xedgelockx Apple might use a dual-core [...] I hoping to buy a new Power Mac in about 10-12 months and I'm curious if that technology will be available by then. Both IBM and Freescale are hard at work bringing du…

Quote: Originally posted by Powerdoc I will prefer this chip (dual core G4 with on board memory controller) to a G5. I bet Apple won't since e600 is no 64 bit processor. Apple have pretty much equated the G5 with 64 bit processing. The e700 on…

Quote: Originally posted by Telomar A PowerPC chip does not necessarily run all the POWER instructions and a POWER doesn't support all the open endianness of PowerPC, this is part of what broke Virtual PC on the G5 since it actually is a POWER ch…

Even if Cell isn't officially Power/PowerPC-based it's highly likey that it is. Sony is a recent PowerPC licencee and IBM is talking about their 440 processor more and more as a cell design, especially for their BlueGene/L-supercomputer design.

I miss serious workstation class graphics for Macs. Some of the market for quad G5s will ignore them if there aren't any really high performace cards. Shouldn't Apple go after the likes of Sun and SGI here?

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph Dual core and SMT can work together very well. In fact, that describes the POWER5 itself. Questions questions... How does SMT work? I've understand that it'll enhance the performance of a processor by aroun…
