Xserve Info?

Tuesday September 9, 2003 8:13 am PDT by Arnold Kim
Macbidouille references a previously mentioned but dismissed rumor about Xserve G5s being introduced at an informational session.



Beyond this, they claim that the upcoming G5 Xserves will adopt many of the features from the PowerMac G5 (FW800, PCI-X, same bus, Serial ATA) with speeds of single and dual 1.8GHz G5s.

This semms likely - but I am rather surprised that the Xserves will not go with 2 ghz chips - perhaps it is because of quanity/heat/price issues.

anyway, this is a needed upgrade, and will prove very profitable for Apple.

Obviously the G5 is capable of scaling (VA), so it seems only logical that nobody will buy the G4 xServe anymore, unless it's for small office basic file serving use (which is something any desktop can do easily enough).

This is when we find out if Apple is serious about the corporate market. Or the Hollywood market for that matter.

This is a much needed upgrade from Apple. I also think if Apple is indeed serious about the server game, they need a central serving unit, not a rack mount, but a central server, Maybe utilizing the Power5 chip when it debuts.

It looks like MacBD's report is based on the other report ("G5 Xserve leaked?") which they now say may be a typo. The date given, Sept. 23, is a Tuesday, though.

So, what is more important right now: powerbooks, or xserve?

For me it's Xserves, since I'm evaluating candidates for a new server. I like the server hardware of the Xserve. Things that are not available in a Desktop like 4 hot swap drives and cheap 4-hour turn around service contract etc.

Yeah, but this time a dual 1.8 actually sounds plausable.

Definitely quantity. There are too many orders on hold for Dual 2 GHz G5s. The wouldn't put another burden on themselves.
