Apple To Discuss HyperTransport For Future Macs
macrealist writes "CNET is reporting that Apple will discuss the use of HyperTransport in Macs at the Developer's conference. The interesting thing is that the article claims that Apple is not likely to use hypertransport to link the CPU to the memory, but instead to link chipsets together because IBM would have to 'to adapt it to the Power architecture.' But according to arstechnica, the 970 does have a frontside bus that operates at similar speeds to Hypertransport."
nah, smeagol was picked cos of the general attitude of mac users to our hardware...

Yeah, the PC133 thing is old, but until the new procs come, DDR is useless since the current Motoasshatola G4s don't have the cohones to utilize the faster RAM speeds of DDR.
I restate: "Asshats."

I prefer the term "fucknuckle" to refer to those impotent, knuckle-dragging proto-CPU designers at Motorola.
A 2Ghz, DDR-compatible CPU appeared on one of their roadmaps about a week ago. Since it just appeared, that means it will be at least 2 years. 2005 for 2 Ghz! If Apple is still using Motorola CPUs by then, I'll personally drive up to Cupertino and put the last piles of earth on top of their grave.

Yeah! I can't wait until I can transport my Mac through hyperspace! Now all we need are the flying bicycles!!
And then put it on iTMS for $0.99?
