I haven't seen any mention of this article yet. Apologies if there is already a thread on it.
The title of the article is Mac G5: Too little, too late and appears here:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nf/20030612/bs_nf/21715
Here's an excerpt:
According to preliminary reports -- completely unsubstantiated by Apple -- the G5 will be turbo-charged with IBM's (NYSE: IBM - news) 64-bit PPC 970 processor. The system's 64-bit addressing will be a major step past Apple's current bus architecture. The new machines will also include AMD's (NYSE: AMD - news) Hypertransport technology, which can push data down pipes at speeds in the neighborhood of 12.8 Gigabytes per second.
The G5 will zip down the highway at speeds ranging from 1.4 GHz to 1.8 GHz. And there's talk of a dual-processor 1.8 GHz model, which, considering that Apples run faster than comparably clocked Windows boxes, might make it the fastest PC on earth.
When the Panther OS is released in September, it will be optimized for 64-bit, so by this fall the Apple G5 will be one hellacious computing machine.
