It will be priced £1,449 including VAT.

You mean the low end will be £1499 - is that the same price as the current 1.6?

I think the dual 2.5 should be no more than £2000 personally.

 

[displaced]

2.5 would be the top of the line. Thats the price of the lowest model, for sure.

Yeah, that'd make sense...

rush of blood to the head... sorry

[HasanDaddy]

Apparently the French Apple Store came up temporarily showing the new 2.5GHz G5s, then went down again.

My guess from Monday

2.4 Single- Available Today- $1,699
2.6 Dual- Available today- $2,499
2.8 Dual- Available July- $2,999
3.0 Dual Available September- $3,499

and I'm sticking with it. We'll all know in about 10 minutes

and you would be wrong. No single procs.

 

[gothamac]

oops

Looks like I'm wrong
2.5? Looks like Think Secret was right

 

[brykken]

The suspense is killing me!

You mean the low end will be £1499 -.

I don't mean... I was just copying and pasting from the Macworld site... heheh and it does indeed mean for the entry model.

single

Apple always has a low end single and I think they will keep it.
A low end Dual would eat up a lot of mid range business.

 

[nuckinfutz]

Since Apple Store UK has been down the longest does that mean it should be up first?

it says on the picture.....dual across the board.

 

[Dont Hurt Me]

Its allways exciting to see what they do, i was going to go to work but ill just have to hang around to see what happens.

 

[johnnyjibbs]

I'd stick with the US version - that usually gets updated first. Believe me, the UK store can be down for more than 2 hours, even though it says "back within the hour."

 

[CmdrLaForge]

What will the other models have ???

Top model 2.5 GHz but the others. Hopefully not the Thinksecret numbers.

Cheers

Oh. OK

Well this would help to separate the pro line from the G5 iMac.

No, not always - The last time Apple did an update on the Powerbooks the US site was first up, even though the UK site was first down.

These are going to be all dual processor. Apple also did this for a time with the G4 PowerMacs as well. So there have been times before too when there was no single processor model available.

 

[klaus]

It doesn't make sense, the french and uk store reporting 2.5 ghz, the dutch is reporting 2.0???

and they were all up a little time before going offline again?
Are they teasing us??

maybe it will end up being 3 ghz??

 

[nuckinfutz]

Ok I know having PCI Express is a long shot but it's worth hoping for.

I can't wait to see what the 2.5Ghz can do in benchmarks. WWDC is going to be fun seeing the new hardware in action running the new OS.

Next year should be fun for me. I hope to get Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro 7 to start my multimedia career. Plus I'll be using Xcode for programming.

I think DVI is going to be good for giving us more graphic card choices. Someday I'll spring for a 30" also. Very cool .


All dual lineup means the lower end 970fx chips are inexpensive which is a good thing for us.

 

[Chip NoVaMac]

I doubt the G5 iMac will be announced until WWDC as this will be a complete redesign. Also next week Apple are going to announce International iTunes Music Store.

The rumor is that the new displays will only have DVI and not ADC, if that is the case it would appear logical that the new G5 powermacs will only have a DVI output, and hence would make sense to announce the displays at the same time. Time will tell I guess....

Say it ain't so. I want my G5 iMac now!
