2.6GHz PowerMacs Tomorrow?

9 Australian Time? US Eastern Time?

9:00am ET in the U.S. is the time the store is usually back up. It's usually down by shortly after 8:00am ET.

just like I said. all dual, 2.2/2.4/2.6ghz.
cool. I think, that their will be an update to 3.0 by september/october. :)

That seems too tightly clustered (<10% speed difference between adjacent models). I'd say dual 1.8, dual 2.2, dual 2.6 would be more likely, with the single 1.6 sticking around until they can empty out the inventory (ie. give them away). Now QUAD would be really sweet (even at speeds of say only 1.8-2.0 per processor, that would be very, very cool). But I put the odds of that happening as very low in the near future and practically nil for whatever they announce this morning. Oh, well.

Also hoping they:
- fix the chirping/audio problems
- make it run cooler (less fan noise)
- have space for more hard drives and internal controllers and connectors; 4 slots would be ok, 5 would be ideal (1 boot drive, 4 media drives in RAID array)
- have Radeon 9600 standard, 128MB 9800 and x800 as options
- add a fourth slot, PCI Express of course

I can dream, can't I?
 
Yeah, right

***News Flash***
There will be PowerMacs with a top speed of 2.6Ghz tomorrow, only because WWDC will produce the ever-so-secret X-Station which tops out at 3.0Ghz.

These will be more expensive due to having larger ram and, larger HD capacity, **Pro graphics card, and **Dual CD Drives (**there was a slight mix up with people thinking they will have pro cards, and dual CD drives for the G5s.)

iMacs will sport 1.6Ghz & 2.0Ghz processors!

:cool:

~Remember; he said they would have 3Ghz Processors, not 3Ghz G5s~

If this is true I'll eat my usb cord. I wouldn't mind eating it over this too. :D

It's 8 am on the East Coast. We'll soon find out if something is coming today :)

I could see 2.6GHz now and 3GHz so soon at WWDC. It depends on what Apple has got. If they don't currently have 3GHz machines, they won't mention it.

"You can have a 2.6GHz model today but in 2 weeks there will be a better one for the same price". Where's the business sense in that?

I'd be really surprised to see 2.6GHz today and 3.0 GHz at WWDC. I would take an announcement today as a signal to the market that this is THE update for the near term.

I think the language of the press announcement will be key. "This is state of the art" is one thing; "We're continuing to make great strides" is quite another.
 
I don't get why people think this is going to happen - the memory special is still valid till the *26th* of June....

I don't think we're going to see new machines today.

D
 
How much is enough?

Some of you are upset about not getting 3Ghz this month. HELLO! Are you escapees from the WINTEL bin? IT ISN'T ABOUT GIGAHERTZ!

If you have PM 2X2.0 today, you can do extraordinary things because of the processor speed, the OS, and the MANUFACTURER! A jump to 2X2.6 will probably tax your video games.

Apple is on the cusp of revolutionizing and integrating entertainment, information, and communication, and all many of you can do is whine about speed.

I am reading this discussion through a PowerMac G3-450 with OS-X 10.2.8--a six-year old Mac that is fully capable of running even Tiger, and which is completely capable of video and audio production. It is doubtful that six-year-old WINTEL technology is even still viable.

Let's please look at the whole picture.
 
Unless Apple has decided to deviate from their normal Tuesday morning update pattern in order to throw us a curve ball, there won't be any new PowerMacs announced today. The store would have already been taken down by now...
 
thinksecret updates their article, still stating it's today, but perhaps another day of this week.

But they note the new machines will be all dual 2.5, 2.0,1.8, but I don't get it, they say they'll still sel the 'old' dual 2.0 for less, but what will be the difference with the new one?

i'm confused, i was hoping for 2.6 2.4 2.2, but according to thinksecret, this won't happen..

Hey! Who invited logic to this party!?

:)
 
Where is our 3Ghz?!

I'm in the camp that believes Jobs will announce 3Ghz around the 20th of September. Of course, those 3Ghz machines won't ship, I predict, until late November. Oh well, at least 2.6 puts IBM and Apple in AMD country.
 
Updates

I don't think updates happen at 9ET, but 9PM PT 12 ET.
What time did express show up yesterday? I believe it was was Noon ET.
 
waiting...

wainting 35 minutes more drive me crazy...
come on... new ! new ! new !
powermacs and ?
think secret told about 2 new product ? airport Express was yesterday... so
What's next ? :confused:
 
I think the airport express wasn't announced until the afternoon right? Or was that because Steve wanted to announce it himself at that talk?
 
isn't ths a reoccuring fantasy of yours?

Isn't it funny...how macrumors keeep posting about 2.6 ghz pmacs and have yet to be right.

Look at that from a while back... Its even more funny how then you guys thought it would be great and be a god...but now you dont...
 
A = B ...

Since "=" is comutative, A=B <=> B=A... this is definition... :)
a good question is:

A*B = C

but B*A = C ? :confused:

if you take matrix, for exemple, it could be wrong... if A is a col (n) and B a row (n), A*B is a matrix (n,n) and B*A if a numbre like exp(4*Pi)+sqrt(ln(2)) (for exemple of course)... :D :D :D :D
 
Nothing today, just another false alarm. Now it's clear that we won't see any updates before WWDC. (Unless Apple decides to relase new PMs tomorrow or on Thursday which doesn't seem likely)
