Published on August 07, 2006

It's Intel Xeon 5100 processors - not Core 2 Duos - that will be at the heart of the new Mac Pro series announced this morning. In fact, they'll have a dual-processor configuration for four simultaneous cores, replacing the old Power G5 "quad" configuration. And confirming speculation from last week, Nvidia's 7300 GT card will come standard, although an ATI Radeon is being offered as an upgrade. Read more

The use of 3 GHZ rather than 2.66 GHZ Clovertowns is notable.

Yeah, apparently 3Ghz Clovertowns will be out next week. Here's Charlies' slanted take on it:

QX6800@150W
Almost, but not hot as Quad FX :twisted:

Look, it's obvious what Intel is doing. Last night I watched for the zillionth time one of the best movies ever made, The Godfather. Intel is copying Sonny Corleone when he finds out that his brother in law Carlo just beat the crap out his sister. Sonny runs up to Carlo in the street, smashes his head in with a garbage can and then when Carlo is lying in the gutter gives him one last good swift kick to the ribs. Consider the QX6800 as Intel giving the last kick to AMD. It was unnecessary, but damn, didn't it feel good? :twisted:

P.S. I know that Carlo later sold out Sonny to Barzini, but I don't think AMD has the ammo to shoot Intel full of holes at the causeway tollbooth! :lol:

Well he does make a good point, the TDP IS going to be excessive.

Then how would you describe AMDs 4x4 at over 500 W on a box? :lol:

Note, you can build your own box identical to the Apple machine at 1/2 the price from components.

You know how Apple love to overprice their (commodity) hardware 8O

In fairness, though, it's not a whole lot more expensive than a similar system from Dell.

Which just reinforces the amount of premium OEMs add. Yes, support is thrown in there, but for most people it wouldn't be worth it. Most people using / buying one of those systems would probably have enough knowledge to fix whatever went wrong anyway.

Let's hope it's a lot faster cause 2 3GHz Xeons is like 250W. Can you say space heater. But I guess since it will be faster than AMD it's OK.


Boy, what a stalker. You should really try harder to get a life. You can't have mine.

I see you're still infatuated with me and can't get me out of your head. At least I know I have gotten to you. DO you think I would ever put anything related to you, good or bad, in my sig.

What a clown.

Oh yeah, so you know I'm back to writing screenplays again so you can add that.
