Saw this in the OWC e-letter today and thought of our previous discussion on G5 PowerBooks and how soon they might be abailable:
----------- <snipped here> Looks like faster G5s are soon to be rolling on out. And they'll contribute less for heating and reduce the need for A/C too! While the first IBM G5 processors Apple is now using in PowerMac G5s are based on 130NM(nanometer) die technology, the next speedbump will come from 90NM technology production. Already in use with the Xserve G5 2.0GHz machines, these 90NM based processors use less power and generate less heat too, which is how they can now use them in the Xserve chassis and likely will later bring about G5 PowerBooks too! IBM is getting full production online and that certainly should bring us the next G5 speedbumb very soon. One good article on the 90NM Technology links to several more at The Register <http://eshop.macsales.com/link.cfm?id=8802-5431> . <end of snip here> ----------- FYI, Jim Rohde -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
