Apple's Dev. Tools Hint @ Dual-core G5 & Quad Mac

Posted by Hemos on from the peering-into-the-future dept.

Eug writes "Apple just released a new version of its CHUD tools, which provides clues about dual-core G5s and quad core Macs (dual dual-core). The clues include a reference to the 970MP, which is dual-core G5 with increased L2 cache. Also, there is now support for 4 CPUs, whereas previous versions of these Mac OS X tools only supported 2. This likely means we'll see dual-core Macs by WWDC, and possibly quad Macs based off these dual-core chips by then too."

    ...that mean that a dual dual-core G5 will finally be as fast as my single AMD64 3700?

    At least dual G5 is slow as a snail compared to my system, and hell - the dual G5 was just killed in Doom 3 test against a single AMD64.

    How sad.

    Of course these (and others like it) facts won't penetrate the RDF field, so never mind.

    So...does that mean it will not be 8 times the price of a pc?
