Heres the latest from MacB:
Here of other exclusive rumours on the mother chart of the PPC 970. The source can be described as extrèmement reliable. But for lack of evidence they remain rumours.
This information relates to a mother chart of PPC 970 of preproduction sent to very rare APPLE partners.
- the mother chart has a form more rectangular than square (we had already had one moment ago of information on a chart "all in length").
- the processor is welded above (traditional for a preproduction) surmounted of a traditional squanderer.
- But especially, there are 8 connectors of RAM above (PC3200 a priori) with which 4 are covered with enormous a sticker "not uses" above. These 4 are cablés differently of the 4 others (not more infos).
One can imagine several explanations to the presence from these 4 slots nonfunctional. Here by order ascending of probability.
1) (not very probable) They were abandoned in the final version
2) (possible) on the mother chart dual, each processor will have its own RAM for more band-width
3) (probable) technology Twin Bank was not implemented yet on this chart of preproduction and will be it then.
Go more than 6 weeks for any knowledge!
- [ Rumour ] PPC 970 Rumors Loop give a layer from there - Lionel - 16:58:13
LoopRumors published rumours which corroborate those completely that we had given you a few weeks ago.
Foxconn (which is supposed to manufacture the machines containing PPC 970) would have received 20 000 Processors PPC 970 to 1,4 GHz, 40 000 to 1,6 GHz. IBM would have 50 000 Processors with 1,8 GHz in stock including 40 000 for Foxconn.
IBM would also have processors with 2 GHz in less number. APPLE would wait until there are 40 000 in stock of them to use them.
To finish, the PPC 970 should reach 2,3 to 2,5 GHz before being replaced by the PPC 980 derived from Power 5.
All this resembles so much so that we have told for a few weeks that there are 2 assumptions:
1) All information of our sources is perfectly exact. (always let us think We it).
2) the source of this information read the rumours of Macbidouille....
