Apple to Announce the Power Mac G5 at WWDC?
a.ameri writes "Apple Insider is
reporting that Apple will announce computers based on IBM's 64 bit PPC 970 processor in the upcomming WWDC and will market them as G5. The new Power Mac G5s will sport a completely new motherboard design utilizing DDR 400 RAM as well as AGP 8x graphics, FireWire 800, and USB 2.0, sources said. "In the box" connectivity among the news systems is based on Hypertransport which provides 64-bit addressing and will replace Apple's multilevel bus architecture found in current systems. Initial offerings of the Power Mac G5 are said to boast 1.4 to 1.8GHz, single core PPC 970 processors, with the possibility of a dual 1.8GHz chips shortly thereafter."
I call shenanigans on both AppleInsider and Slashdot for being lame. I'll believe it when I see it.
if you placed it on your lap, it would at least protect your family jewels from most forms of ionising radiation.
That's gotta be worth SOMETHING...
That was classic intercourse!
Yes. Despite having moved to it in all their current models, they've decided it's overkill for the consumer and are moving back to 4mbit token ring.
You know, the rumor sites haven't said anything about a keyboard, either! Does anybody know whether Apple plans to ship a keyboard with the G5?
It will work right up until the G8 is released, which will not sell due to massive "spontaneous" protests that form around each machine with it inside.
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
It's very easy.
The processors will continue from G5 to G9, and eventually to G9.2. The next processor after that will be GX 10.0.
Got it?
Spoon not. Fork, or fork not. There is no spoon.
