PowerMac G5s - on or around Jan 20th?

[ionas]

they wont go to 3ghz b4 summer

that does not make sense,

he promised 3ghz by summer, not earlier

would be wiser to spend the time on Q&A + filling the stock so that the delivery will be faster than last autumn.

+ the rest of the time you could spend your R&D on PowerBook and iMac/eMac concepts and tech stuff...

Pentium M is a great CPU, and a real competitor (while all the other desktop and mobile cpus by intel area JUST PURE CRAP)

I think it is about time we close this thread. I can't stand seeing this "PowerMac G5s - on or around Jan 20th" email.

I mean, it is annoying enough that there are no updates.

Can somone atleast "guess/speculate" update date, and we will take it from there?

I'm callinng April, BTX is suppose to be out then with the PCI-Express graphics standard. The new Power Macs should have this.

10.3.3 Issues

You know, I don't necessarily see why we'd think that 10.3.3 is necessarily linked to new Power Macs. Apple has a few times in the past had slightly different builds of the "same" version of system software, with a "newer" build designed to work on new hardware.

It's not at all implausible for 10.3.3 to be released to the general public before the 10.3.3 that's designed for the new Power Macs is fully ready and developed.

Within the next two weeks. I'm only saying this because I'll be in the Carribean during that time and it would be fitting for them to come out when I'm not in the country... bastards!

18 pages later on this thread, and like 21 pages on the MWSF thread and WE DON'T HAVE A FREAKIN CLUE of what's going on.
I wish we had something to go on besides NeatGekko's prophecies.

*sigh*

DATE SET FOR NEW POWER MACS!

A very close friend of mine who works at Apple told me that he sat down with Steve Jobs yesterday, and Steve said that the Power Macs will be introduced Tuesday, February 17th.

The Apple web splash page will be changed to say "Better Late Than Never..." and every new Power Mac ordered will come with a box of free Valentine's Day chocolates, in accordance with the better-late-than-never theme.

The new models are rumored to use G4 processors at 1.25, 1.33, and 1.42 Ghz, with no dual processors. When asked why in the world Apple was using slow G4s instead of the groundbreaking G5 processors and architecture introduced last year, Jobs replied, "This'll teach that infernal NeatGekko to shut his damn mouth!"

 

[the future]

And I thought NeatGekko WAS Steve Jobs...

DAMN YOU!!!!
I was really excited about that chocolate for a second!

On another, more serious note, the 17th is actually a likely day for updates considering that that is the week that IBM shows off the new 970FX processor.

Dude -- I am the *FIRST* person to predict the 17th as the date of the update.

So if they are introduced then, then I will be the new Oracle and source of inside info at Apple!

Yeah... but will you eat any body parts if your wrong? That's the good stuff. I'm much more interested in watching someone cannibalize themeselves.
