More on PowerMacs at NAB? [Update]
Following tentative Page 2 Rumors of PowerMac G5s to be announced at the National Association of Broadcasters, Think Secret confirms that Apple is planning on introducing new PowerMacs at NAB.
Unfortunately, details are slim in the new report, so only the hint of upcoming PowerMac revisions are provided.
The previous unconfirmed Page 2 report hinted at 2GHz-3GHz 970MP based PowerMacs with significant under the hood enhancements -- but should be viewed as unconfirmed specs.
PowerMacs were last updated in June 2004 (Buyer's Guide).
New PowerMacs would presumably ship with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), which was announced today.Update: The page two report is a confirmed to be unreliable... so should be disregarded.

I think "confirmed" is too strong of a word; ThinkSecret seems fairly uncertain about that publication. Anyway, I have been having great luck this week, so I am keeping my fingers crossed! :D

So far the folks in the rumor business have been coming up dry with good solid specs and dates.
I would not be surprised to see these PM updates next week since they have been a long time coming. Now that Tiger news is officially out which none of the sites had the courage to report prior to the official announcement, they have build up a little courage and announced the updates for next week.
All I want to see is a 3 ghz system with faster RAM and a kick ass graphics card. This is the only way I can justify Tiger.

are the 970MP's dual core?
has anyone seen the reviews on the Pentium D, and Pentium Extreme Edition (both dual core)
i must say they are quite impressive

New PowerMacs, yes. What about new iMacs? 23" widescreen 2.0GHz G5 would be the bomb. Might even sell my current dual 2.0GHz PM over a 23" model iMac. I've only got a 19" Dell LCD for my PM right now. I'd prefer a more gorgeous screen to more processing power.

I'll bet this rumor turns out to be true. High Definition video work demands more than today's dual 2.5GHz PM G5 has to offer.

It is unknown whether the new PowerMacs will use 970MPs or 970GXs. The MP is dual core, the GX is not.
