90nm 970's for Powerbooks?
MacBidouille posts an English translation of their latest rumor posting, hinting at PowerBook processors coming from Apple:
- IBM engineers are going to work hard in order to have the PPC 970 at 90nm ready for the end of this year in East Fishkill's laboratories. These processors will eventually replace PowerBooks' G4s.
MacBidouille has been particularly vocal about upcoming PowerPC 970 rumors with shipment of 970 enabled Macs expected as early as WWDC (June). Their history of rumor accuracy has been variable, with both significant hits (Leaked PowerMac Pics) and misses (4-6 Processor Macs, AMD and Apple Rumors Part II).

So is this suggesting that we aren't going to see any updates to the PowerBooks until the end of the year? Or are they going to somehow manage to get an impossibly hot speed bumped G4 into the PowerBooks?

If new processors are in Powerbooks by the end of the year, then this really will be the "year of the notebook".

MacBidouille (is) either:
1) Smoking crack.
2) Knows something that will make us all really really happy. :)
How can they being spewing all of this all the time unless they knew something? It seems to me like a really big risk to blow your reputation over this.

970 PB would be amazing and the second Apple Computer that I would purchase. Apple has the software position covered and all it needs now is the hardware. COME ON PPC 970.

Let's start into another round...
Well, assuming processors will be here in late 2003, then the machines won't be available before Q1 2004 (and I'd rather bet on Q2). That's still a long time to go...

It's obvious that the G4 can't get much faster, at least without turning your Powerbook into hot plate
Low power 970's would be better processors, and would have faster clock speeds (and with any luck they won't give you second degree burns). Win-Win.
BTW, my 300th Post! Just 200 more until I can get an Avatar! :D

The 1.1volt 1.2Ghz PPC 970 can be used now in a Powerbook. Would Apple wait this long?
