Sögusagnir eru nú komnar á kreik um að G5 örgjörvinn sé nú
að verða tilbúinn. Hér er orðrómurinn eins og hann birtist á
www.macosrumors.com, reyndar með fyrirvara um að hann
sé ekki seldur dýrara en hann var keyptur.
On wednesday, the 8500 (formely 7500) G5 was officially
taped out. The version 1.0 which will ramp up production soon
will come in six speeds: 800Mhz, 1Ghz, 1.2Ghz, 1.4Ghz, and
1.6Ghz. The 800Mhz and 1Ghz parts will be targeted to the
embedded market, while the 1.2Ghz and up parts will be
targeted to the desktop market. Sample chips have been
stable as high as 2Ghz, but it has been decided that it is not
feasible to wait until the process has been refined enough to
debut the G5 at 2GHz.
