"Over the weekend, members of the AppleInsider forums discovered a listing for an unannounced Apple Power Mac model in a info file distributed with Mac OS X 10.3.4, which was released last week."

What you failed to mention for the lazy non-link clickers, is that this isn't coherent with a upgrade is speed, that would require no new model. So there are 3 options as to what this is:

1. New Processor
2. Quad Processor Power Mac
3. Dual Core Power Mac

Again, this wouldn't be a simple speed bump model...

And/or we're talking the other components - be it Graphics cards or likewise... Lets face it its not going to be a new processor, although i think we're gonna see some good speedbumps very soon.
Quad Processors?... just imagine that - if only Programmes would start to make more use of them however, - the difference in somthing like FCP with two processors over one is staggering - the inprovement in games would also :)
