PowerMac 970's in August?

Maybe they have the same source?

A June announcement with an August release? :confused:

Apple's got to have something on the market in July, or they'll suffer real losses. Who's going to buy a G4 tower when a 970 tower is on the way?

And maybe they are SO powerful that they will be ABLE to get COunter-Strike running on a Mac! *gasp!* hehehe :D

The real question is, can macnews.net.tc confirm the benchmarks?

Nice! we have a confirmation on the speeds. Just can't wait for them to drop one in a powerbook. :)

err...don't mean to flame, but did you read their site?!

It says:

"While we cannot confirm the benchmark results for the PowerPC 970 machines posted by MacBidouille...our sources say the numbers are not too far off."

So - don't know if the benchmarks are vaild, but in anycase they aren't far wrong....

....which I interperet to mean that they aren't quite as spectacular, but here's to hope ;)

a.

hmmm.. i highly doubt they'd release 970 powerbooks one month after debuting the 970 in powermacs.. it would take away some attention from what will arguably be the most dramatic update to the powermac line ever.. if i were to take a wild guess, i'd say at least 6 months

I just ordered a PowerMac G4 Dual 1.42 Ghz with EVERYTHING including two 17 inch monitors. Should I cancel my order? Please respond with what you would do.

I wouldn't exactly call this a confirmation on the speeds since these are the same numbers for potential speeds that have been tossed around since last August. I think this is maybe a bunch of old news mixed with a small amount of new news and being sold as all new.
