90nm G5 Supplies Improving?
The test models are reported to range from 2.2GHz to 2.6GHz.
Meanwhile, Appleinsider notes that Apple Display upgrades could be delayed by oversupply of current units.
Rumors of PowerMac revisions have come and gone over the past few months. Earlier reports have indicated that Apple has already outsourced work for promotional materials for the new machines... but due to the unsteady supply of 90nm chips has been unable to commit to a ship date.

This is good news to see that Apple is starting to get some constant chip supplies in, hopefully we will see them soon!
"On a side note, sources speculate that the likelihood of new Apple Cinema displays seeing an introduced alongside the new Power Macs could be fading fast. Despite promotional efforts intended to help deplete the stock of current displays, inventory is still said to be heavy."
Here come the "No 3GHz???" complaints.....
Was just about to post mine.......
I was REALLY hoping for 3GHz come WWDC. I am suprised that they have spent 12 months preparing for this Rev B and it will only be a 2.6GHz. I will just cling to the faint hope that they have only seeded these speeds in order to keep the cat in the bag
600 mhz increase! At least its not only 60mhz. :)
dont you mean 67 :D. here's hoping apple eventually get's their supplies together, overstocked items are no fun for anyone.

Trust me I want to believe in Steve... after all he did promise 3 gig by June (or next WWDC) - but all I want is a rev B G5! I'll even take a 2.1 I accept that the new G5s are amazing... but the whole "I'm not buying a first gen thing for me is personal".
:p
