Steve Job's said 3Ghz within a year at last years WWDC in June 2003 with the introduction of the first G5s. It has now been 9 months since that announcement and about 7 months since the first Generation G5s started shipping in quantity in September of 2003 and we are still at only 2Ghz. Now it is possible that we will not see any G5 update till June 2004 which would make One year from the original 3Ghz remark and 9 months since the first PowerMac G5s started shipping. This next G5 update has to be at 3Ghz whether released anytime from now to WWDC to make Steve's promise true. If we only get 2.4-2.6Ghz max with this upcoming update it will put Steves 3Ghz in a year comment way off as we will not see 3Ghz untill the end of the year at best or at worst early 2005 as there is usually a 6-9 month period between updates. Basically it's 3Ghz or nothing with the next update or Steve Jobs would be making the fool out of himself by being 6 months too maybe even a year off of his promise and we all Know Steve usually never makes such bold statements so here's hoping for 3Ghz with the next update.
I also strongly beleive that we will not see a G5 imac or Powerbook until late this year at best to even the first quarter of 2005. The imac will most likely be bumped up to G4 1.42-1.533 Ghz max. Emac should also be bumped too 1.25-1.33Ghz max and the PowerBook will see another G4 update at 1.53Ghz all happening this summer.
