Apple: Quad-Core Processors in New Macs

[50548]

Bogus? a bit too fast to jump onto conclusion aren't you, have to launch attack to make yourself feel secure?

if you had one extra or one short 0 on the price (e.g. $4000 as $400), that's offer... but the case of fabricating a whole thing that you don't have is not typo. if it were typo, they would have corrected it by now.

i'm glad you apologized tho.

I said your statement was BOGUS. I didn't attack anyone, so chill out.

As for typos, this is not OFFER, this is INVITATION TO TREAT in most jurisdictions. And yes, it WAS corrected.

I ordered a Mac Pro in the first week of February. Still hasn't arrived. Is this normal? I got a few BTO options: 160GB HDD, Bluetooth + WiFi, ATI X1900.

I'm hoping they are holding off because a new model is just around the corner...

If You Hope Your Order For Old Is New Why Didn't You Wait?

If you're hoping that, why didn't you wait to order the update model instead?

Because my old G4 is hangin' on by a thread, and a current Mac Pro would do me just fine. Also, I was waiting for the Macworld just passed for an announcement.

Now that I've waited over 6 weeks, (and my G4's still going), I'd rather wait for a new one if it's just around the corner. Otherwise, I'd still be happy with a current model, as long as a newer machine is not annouced two weeks later.

Also, I've called several times -- am ordering at cost price through a friend reseller here in Oz -- he's reply is "I'll only know how far away it is when the courier arrives with it". What can a wigga do?

I wouldn't expect to see a quad core iMac until later in 2008.

the hotness

won't it take a tidal wave to keep the quad-core cool in a laptop?

An iMac more powerful than the current POS overpriced Mac Pros.

Well I never thought they'd have 2 processors in a laptop and now its the standard.

Technology changes, Quad Core processors will soon come out and they won't run hot, hell they may run cooler than the current processors.

The Problem with Apple!

Where do I start?
Hardware?!!
They should really leave hardware alone, we do, and we do quite well!

2nd half of 2008. Quad Core Penryn's are slated to need 45W of power. Nehalem doesn't look to be any better (in first revision) needing 45/55W for the quad core version. So while they will be relativley cool they will bust the current 25/35W TDP Apple is currently enjoying.
