Title: Will We Ever See... Post by: :MoD:Shade on April 17, 2005, 11:41:45 pm A PowerBook G5? Any updates on this at all?
Title: Re: Will We Ever See... Post by: BFG on April 18, 2005, 12:06:27 am Yes..... just not yet ;)
New rumored revision of G5 desktops might be sporting the new chip which runs a lot cooler thus removing the need for the expensive and impractical (for a laptop) liquid cooling systems aside from the duel core possibilities... Its going to happen, just not for a while i guess - especially when the G4 has still got some life in it ;) Title: Re: Will We Ever See...

Post by: BTs_Mysterio on April 18, 2005, 03:35:37 pm Unfortunately BFG, poor freescale and their roadmaps seem so our of reach, with their 167mhz front-side-bus introduced what, 3 years ago? Motorola failed, freescale emerged, and now apparently they are failing too. Their goal was to make the G4 a continuing Generation built to make high performance notebooks. I don't know how high performance 170MHz bumps on a ancient processor with a tiny bus is.
