Articia I : Comment 22 of 73 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Alex Klauke on 02-Jan-2004 10:44 GMT | In reply to Comment 16 (BrianK): > Use your favorite search engine for PowerPC970fx.
(90nm PPC970)
Which could be used in PowerMacs as early as MWSF starting Jan. 6th. or shortly
thereafter, according to rumors (www.macrumors.com to be exact.. ) This chip will
most probably max out at 2,8 GHz.

This is most likely the version that'll reach 3 GHz in June, as Jobs promised.
But then it's questionable if the Articia I will support that proc, most likely
not, as the 980 will be derivative from the POWER5 (vs. POWER4/970) which means
some design changes that could be important for the chipset support. Btw the
POWER5 is said to reach 4 times(400%!!) the performance of its predecessor.
I think we should be happy if we're getting access to 970's in early 2005. It
also depends on the expected sales of AmigaOne/970, I'd guess it would need a
few thousands of montly sales to be viable at a competetive pricing.
Ciao, Alex |
