970MP - Still Coming?
Previous hints had pointed to multiprocessor 970MP machines coming from Apple based on evidence from developer tools. ThinkSecret points to further room for processor changes noted in Tiger's reporting of processor counts.
The annoying thing about this 970MP thing is that we, the Mac Rumor community, didn't make it all up. This wasn't a 750GX G3 with Altivec thing that probably doesn't even exist. We saw the CHUD tools, we had TS talking about the G5 roadmap, and now we have more info from Tiger.
Oh god. I can't believe I am going to say this. I am going to wait until the next revision. (I think) :)
And then you're going to wait for Rev. B and so on... ;)And we had the IBM misprint on their website and the PDF!!if memory serves me right.
:confused:

I am confident Steve will be announcing and demoing a top end 3GHZ Quad core machine at WWDC - shipping date is another thing - probably September
Otherwise this latest round of Powermac updates are going to really look mega lame and hit the bottom line hard - Apple cannot have 2.7Ghz single core processors in it's top end machine for the next 12 months while AMD and Intel start pushing Dual cores out the door.
