PPC 970 Apple Motherboards?

I bet we still won't see these in PowerMacs until 2004.

Really? How much? I've got $20 that says Apple does ship a PPC 970 system in 2003. Any takers? Or should I say ...Givers ;)

A 2003 ship date is right on schedule for the PPC 970. Volume production is listed as 2H 2003. Now the next hurdle is ...will Apple use them. If the above reports are true then we have a resounding YES!

does anyone have a translation of this article, i saw the tidbit on whispers at work... but I'd like an accurate non-google trans...

If this is true:

Wooohooo! PPC 970! OK, I'll stop now.

Hopefully, this will yeild an announcment this year. :D

Just one question. How reliable are these guys? If there track record is good, Mac Users everywhere will be dancing in the streets and the PC users will want to join in. :)

This is great news if it is true, but does anyone know how long it takes to go from this stage to actually announcing that particular product? Or even just a timeframe? Thanks

So if that is true then these machines probably ship in September. Like the all the other rumours say!

They seem to have a very hot track record.

Macwhispers is new. They're still unkown but the blew it with their iPod predictions.

Macbidouille has had a couple of hits in the past. They probably have a couple of decent contacts.

Here still some rumours on the future machines containing PPC 970.

- APPLE finalized the drawing of the mother boards containing PPC 970
(for Xserve and the machine pro). - the firm launched an invitation to
tender near Taiwanais manufacturers for the manufacture of these
products. 2 will be retained.

The card of the machine pro, would be much longer and narrow that what
one currently has. We let to you imagine the shape of the future case
which will contain it...

Though I don't know French, this translation seems pretty good...
