That would make since except every other processor in the diagram is an evolution of the one before it.

when apple releases the new 970's later this month

i bet the low end tower will be a single processor 1.4 G4
witha sing processor 970 at like 1.6 being mid range and a dual 970 setup being high end.

i hope the low end will be a 970
cause what ever comes out this june

im getting a new tower (the cheapest one). and id rather it was a 970

Hehehe...

I just thought, we could start a thread about what the Matrix would be like if it were based on Macs vs. being based on Windows. (Kind of like the old 'If computers were cars...' thing...)

Given the fact that the 970 outperforms the G4 by such a wide margin (based on the projection that a single 1.4GHz 970 would outperform a dual 1.42GHz G4), this set up would produce a massive difference in performing power between the low-end and mid range. For this reason, even ignoring other rumors having to do with the price of the 970 chip being less than that of the G4, I highly, highly doubt that Apple would make a move such as this.
