Power Mac G5 allegedly coming soon
Allen H. points to an AppleInsider article (they're still around??) that details the Power Mac G5 systems Steve Jobs will allegedly unveil at the WWDC late this month. I hope it's true, as Apple's current hardware is anemic at best. According to the report, the G5 will consist of the 64-bit IBM PowerPC 970 processor running at 1.4 to 1.8 GHz, DDR 400 RAM, AGP 8x graphics, FireWire 800 (FireWire 2), USB 2.0, and a new Hypertransport bus architecture capable of transferring data at up to 12.8 Gigabytes per second. Additionally, Apple has developed a modified Power Mac G5 enclosure, which is more square and compact than the current Power Mac G4's deep, rectangular form-factor. It lacks the 4 curved handles found on current units, but sports a single USB and a single FireWire 800 port on the front of the casing, with additional ports in the rear, the report says. People foolish enough to buy the first gen systems will get Jaguar and a coupon for Panther, due in September.
