@Hammer,
Here's the article from Forbes I was remembering. http://www.forbes.com/2003/12/22/cx_ah_1222aapl.html
'IBM is said to be ready to deliver a new version of its PowerPC processor to Apple by the end of this year, in time for a revision to the flagship PowerMac G5 line. The main improvement to the PowerPC chip, known internally at IBM as the PowerPC 970fx, will be a reduction of the features on the chip itself, from sizes of 130 nanometers to 90 nanometers...
Beyond 90 nanometers lie transitions to even more advanced manufacturing technologies. After the 90-nanometer process comes the 65-nanometer process in 2005 and 45-nanometers in 2007 or so. IBM is collaborating with several other chipmakers on that transition....
A mid-step between the current systems, which top out with two chips running at 2 Ghz, and systems with chips as fast as 2.6 GHz would be a logical move come January, says Peter Glaskowsky, analyst with Instat/MDR, San Jose, Calif. and editor-in-chief of the influential newsletter Microprocessor Report.
"Speeds of 2.4 to 2.6 GHz would be consistent with exactly where I would expect them to be right now," Glaskowsky says...."
Other sites are putting rumors of 2.4Ghz and 2.6Ghz G5's as the processor for the Apple XServe G5. Apple did update Desktops but not their XServe product line.
We'll all need to stay tuned to the MacIT conference on Jan 7th... If anything new is coming down the pipes it's sure to be announced there. |
