PPC970 and WWDC Rumors: Part 2
According to their most recent update, they claim that Apple's WWDC dates were indeed moved due to planning around the PowerPC 970. Configurations are reported at 1.4 GHz, 1.8 GHz, and dual 2.3 GHz with availability 6-8 weeks after the announcement.
While they will not be sharing early benchmark results, they claim they are very exciting.
MacBidouille has a variable history of accuracy with their rumor reporting. A top speed of 2.3GHz is contrary to public IBM claims on the max speeds of the new PPC 970s as well as rumors from CeBit.

How long?
Do we know the power usage figures?
First?:eek:
I'm a dumb American that only speaks one language. Is it "Mac-Bi-dooey"? "Mac-Bi-dooley"? "Mac-Bi-day"?

I thought it was Mac-bi-dool.
Very promising rumours. Dual 2.3ghz would take a p4 4ghz.

Oh man! that is so easy to pronunce:D When I talk in english for me "beach" and "bitch" sounds the same, I just pronunce something in between hoping for people to undertand what I really mean:rolleyes:
french
mac bee doo yuh,
that's the correct one. (whereas the 'yuh' is hardly more than a 'y')
anyway - I don't really buy their "we know too much" thing. sounds too cheap....
Now all we need is a 970 in a PowerBook.
IBM already has specs on a 1.1 Volt PPC 970@ 1.2Ghz. Dissipation is only 19watts making it more efficient than the current Powerbook 1Ghz processors used by 10watts.
I think we'll see 1.4, 1.8, 2x1.8
And that would still rock! Aight!? :D
