Apple Confirms G5 Based iMac to Ship in September

Posted by simoniker on from the go-go-g5 dept.

evn writes "Apple Insider and Yahoo News are carrying stories about Apple's 3rd quarter report including confirmation of a G5 iMac during Apple's webcast conference call to discuss the filing: 'IBM's manufacturing problems have also impacted our next generation iMac. We normally don't talk about unannounced products but we feel you need to know about the current situation. The new iMac is based on the G5 processor. We could not secure the necessary supply of G5 processors to launch our new iMac on schedule: and as we indicated a few weeks ago, we now plan to announce and ship it in september.' Apple made $61 million dollars profit on $2.01 billion dollars in Q3/04 and had the highest CPU shipments in three and a half years."

    It's completely preposterous that some guy can make this amazingly refined mini G5 and have it universally acclaimed and Apple (in its infinite wisdom) sticks to an all in one consumer machine.

    Yippee, the iMacs finally get a decent processor in them. No more sucky G4s (seriously, if you don't realize the G4 sucks you are an ignorant SOB)... but I bet the price will go up too much as well. Wouldn't be Apple otherwise.

    I can't wait to crash at five times the speed for five times the price.

    Not "heh". It's not funny. He has a good point; you talk WAY too fucking much. Why don't you just shut up for a while and take your idiocy somewhere else.

    Seriously, you're the only person on slashdot I know. I see "oh NanoGator" and know that I'm about to be pissed off by your posts. Why don't you do more thinking and less talking? Please, save us all.

    well it's based on BSD. You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Apple's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Apple is dead.
