PowerMac G5 Revision in Jan 2004?
AppleInsider reports that Apple is planning to release PowerMac G5 revisions by the end of January.
According to the rumor site, currently testing PowerMacs range from single 2.0GHz to dual 2.5GHz G5s and claims that IBM has had G5 chips at up to 2.5GHz in sampling since March.
IBM briefly leaked a press release in March claiming the PowerPC 970 will reach speeds between 1.8GHz and 2.5GHz. Further confirmation of this initial target speed (2.5GHz) can be seen in this IBM Presentation (PDF), Page 23 dated from Feb 2003.
MacRumors has also heard whispers that the low end PowerMac for the next revision will come in at a single 2.0GHz G5, possibly verifying Appleinsider's information.
Apple has publicly stated that the PowerMac line would reach 3GHz "before the end of next summer"

I'm curious to know what other Rev A-Rev B difference there might be, any thoughts? It seems like they always find and fix a few areas that make life a bit smoother for the end-user.

So my road-map is right on target.
Dual 2 GHz released an my birthday (June 23rd 2003)
Dual 2,5 GHz released on January 6th (MacExpo)
And Dual 3 GHz (PPC980) on my next birthday (June 23rd 2004 - WWDC 04)
Then I'll be all over this baby, hope it'll work moneywise. I'm a poor student, makin' some money with graphic design.

Such a refreshing change to see such improved performance in such shorter timeframes.
I hope the forthcoming low-end and midrange machines are more compelling than the current ones. The high end dual 2.0 blows them away for not much more money. Would be great to see a midrange dual or a less expensive starting price on the low-end model.

it seems like the G5s just came out, with all the shipping delays..but yeah i guess jan will be the typical 6 month Power Mac revision. think they'll have a different airport/bluetooth solution than the add on plug things? faster superdrive? hopefully the low end will get the same tech as the other 2 models...
