Any timeline leads on the intel G5?

Switchcraft · 22nd April 2006, 04:13 PM

I have searched around and couldnt find any info... Do you think they are redesigning the case since the intel processors to produce so little heat? Who knows, maybe it will be a G6.
thanks

Look up a few threads mate!

Intel Woodcrest, Conroe and Merom Q3 2006

didn't apple push back WWDC to line up with Intel releases?

g5 / g6 are PPC chips, NOT intel................

That may be.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how soon Apple can get their hands on the newer processors for implimentation into their line-up.

For me the bigger question will be if Apple uses Conroe or if they will go straight to the
Woodcrest server quality chips for the new towers.

This post from Macrumors.com tries to shed some light but... well, we all know they don't call it Macrumors for nothing...

Quote:

TG Daily claims that faced with increasing competitive pressure from AMD, Intel has accelerated the launch of its upcoming processors.

The upcoming processors include Woodcrest, Conroe and Merom. All three are now expected to be shipping "in volume" in Q3 2006. This could mean that processors would be available as early as June or July of this year.

Conroe processors are Intel's Desktop CPU from their Core microarchitecture. They come in a 65-nm process and are speculated/rumored to be used in Apple's upcoming Intel PowerMac revisions.

Meanwhile, Merom is Intel's 64-bit mobile processor which is said to have better performance than the current Core Duos with the same power consumption. The Merom processor is also said to be pin compatible with the current Core Duo processors. Merom processors would presumably be used in upcoming MacBook Pros.

Little has been said about Apple's plans (if any) for Woodcrest, which is Intel's server-targeted processor.

It would be great to see the 17" MBP's released next week, but it may only be an announcement of when at a later time, as you said hopefully with Merom's

Jobs promised new hardware every month in 2006 at the Keynote January 06 MacWorld.

Did he really say that ? I dont remember that.

I do remember this:
Pretty sure it was that Apple would be trnasitioning its entire product line over to intel based systems by the end of this calender year.
