Well it will be interesting to see what is announced at Apple's WWDC on Monday.

I can scarcely believe Apple will have a G5 ready for sale on Monday...still....

It's not like them to announce something not ready for sale, after all, why kill their sales of existing product....so it appears they are going to announce on Monday...and it would almost have to mean they were nearing a release.

if they do this on Monday, wow!

So *if* there will come something out of this, it means real life end-user products ... when?

[Developing a new chipset, bugtesting that, make necessary modification and go back to the manufacturing plant, developing a new motherboard around this architecture, bugtesting that, making necessary modifications and start production ...]

In 2+ years from now?

Pegasos III ?  :-o  :-)

Well, I'm not holding my breath! The Peg I is here today, the Peg II in a near future ...

Electro Kids? ah well..   :-P

Next time.. try to find some fact before posting. Like what those companies have done so far, who uses their products and what their annual sales figures are.

And about X86.vs.PPC .. way out of this thread ...

"That suggests that the company may be using an off-the-shelf PC chipset. The Power Mac G5s are expected to feature a HyperTransport-based bus, so it's possible Apple is using HT-enabled chipsets from a third-party rather than design its own."

I hope the register is accurate about their opinion / prediction. Who is the vendor?
Is it possible to use PC chipset with PowerPC CPU?

IBM and Winbond had an unreleased, defective PowerPC chipset for Open PowerPC in 1999. I had doubt about their chipset. There is a rumor about secret Hypertransport chipset from 3rd party in 1999, but the company was closed.

@kennyG

glad to see you are a chipset expert ;)

your comment about Mai and the G3 is WRONG! BTW
 
Ohh did I mention the Marvell PPC chip while real sweet with high speed memory and LAN controller only has support for Dual PCI and NO AGP!!!

Sigh! maybe in the future!


Kurt

Please will you Morph duds keep the FUD to a reasonable level I can't keep up with the shoveling!

AFAIK, AGP in the Marvell based Pegasos II will be inplemented pretty much in the same way as in the Pegasos I/Amiga One.

Glad to see you're even less of a chipset expert, Kurt. AGP is nothing more than PCI with stricter timing. Direct support in the memory controller chip for AGP is totally irrelevant to the end-user, and only important from the design stage. What isn't irrelevant is Articia-S's fatal bugs and its lack of DDR support, and of course Mai's total unwillingness to admit any bugs until IBM stepped in. Regardless of the Articia-S features, its bugs make it useless crap anyway.

The difference between FUD and non-FUD is fact. That makes you technically more than a fudder than myself. Have a nice day, soldier-boy.
