I said in an earlier rant that I would not read this thread anymore...
:)

Well that didn't last long. I don't have any opinion about MOSR but also hope they are correct! It would sure help the many frustrated iMac and PM users looking for updates. Maybe this week...NAB exhibits open this morning and if anything is announced, I have a VIP Badge and will be down to the CC in a flash to see what's new.

Well, if they're right, and the machines are a new bread of ultra-powermacs, this isn't such good news for the rest of us, because these ultra machines will be sold for ultra-premium prices. Anyway : all of this is very speculative of course.

I just want/need a new powermac for my business, any specifiacations will do (but not those of 1 year ago at the prices of a year ago).

Well, Dell's dual core offering is going to start at $2,999.

Dell will feature the dual-core chips in its Dell Precision 380 workstation as well as its next-generation Dell Dimension XPS desktop, which will be priced beginning at $2,999

If Apple enters the fray with a Dual Core Power Mac Pro, I bet they start at $3,999 :(

Are the Dell's dual duals?

Apple might be able to get away with a $3999 system if they were dual duals or QUADs. And as others have suggested, Apple can market these as "Power Stations" geared at video production houses.

But this is all moot, me thinks. Dual-cores would call for a big announcement. The Apple NAB announcement came and went without a wimper about hardware. My guess is that a minor upgrade along the lines of a dual 2.7 (970fx) will surface tomorrow without any fanfare. Maybe in two months, Apple will be ready to announce 3.0 dual-cores at the WWDC. But that would be unprecedented, in terms of time between upgrades. More likely, it'll be September when Apple announces anything dramatic.

Optimistic scenario
Tomorrow: minor speedbump to dual proc 2.7 ghz, as speced by TS.
WWDC: Apple introduces the PowerStation line with quad procs (dual duals)

More likely
Tomorrow: minor speedbumps
September: Power Macs go dual-cores

Worst Case Scenario
Tomorrow: Nothing gets announced, I get delusional keep looking at the Apple website (and continue delaying my PowerMac order), This thread goes on for another 20 or so pages etc etc..

This would be a dream

Apple will announce a line named ProMac, and the PowerMac will slowly be faded out. Specs of Dual-Core 3.0ghz/PCI-Express/Blu-Ray/more RAM will come soon.

Prices starting at 2,999?

And then you woke up? ;)
 
predictions

My predictions i that Apple will probably reschuffle their line up a bit and probably introduce a totally new high end line... So basically Powermacs will get their prices lowered and offer either dual 970GXs or single 970MPs and the new ProMac line will be all dual dual core 970MPs (but I really hope for Power5 derivatives which I think is possible since those ProMacs will be expensive anyway so large quantities of Power5 derivatives wont be needed at the beginning since most people wont be able to afford them anyway, basically a REAL PRO COMP...

The name ProMac sounds very fitting since, they are primarily made for professionals. Wonder what life span the PowerMac has left. This is going to be a very exciting run up to WWDC. Apple needs to decrease the gap that now occurs.

Sleep tight. ;) Let not your heart be trouble, there is still Tuesday which is often a big day for Apple. No reason to be disappointed yet. NAB doesn't end till the 21st.

Don't expect clock speeds of the dual cores to be 3Ghz. It isn't going to happen.
When the dual cores come they will be clocked between 2.3 and 2.7Ghz.
Watch and see.
 
Goin' nuts over here.

At this point I'd like to see any update at all.

I second that, we are way overdue for new hardware to spend our money on here. I sold my MDD 1.25 dualie last winter on the expectations of an update promised by Steve. Now I find myself stuck on my 500Mhz TiBook waiting, and waiting, and waiting....

Perhaps I should just time warp ahead about 5 years and get whatever the top of the line hardware and software is then... now THAT would be sweet.
