Macs running at 733mhz coming!

[Soccerman]

heh, this'll stir things up a bit.. it appears that it won't be delayed THAT much, though PCs will probably still be a fair bit faster in terms of performance.

GOOOO MACs!!

 

[ForeverSilky]

Ugh, now Mac users will be claiming this is faster than a 2.5ghz P4 or Thunderbird, and a dual 733G4 will be as fast a a 5ghz P4 or Thunderbird.

 

[PCAddict]

ROFL@ ForeverSilky.

You got that right.

 

[compuwiz1]

I only have one thing to say..........BFD!

 

[smp]

Macs are nice and all, and I know some really talented computer ppl that prefer them. I'm sorry though, PC's will always be faster, as you've said. As much as I dislike MacIntosh computers, I have to have some respect for them, they kind of even out the playing field a bit, they are competition, and competition is good for us (consumers) and it's good for the whole industry.. goooo macs. (hurry it up a bit eh Mr. Jobbs.. 733???? hellooooo!!!)

 

[toph99]

those things will be great for RC5 :Q

 

[Soccerman]

yeah actually rc5 was my 1st thought when I saw that.. I must be somewhat addicted, no?

 

[ForeverSilky]

And Jobs will show the "superiority" of the 733 G4 by running some cherry picked Photoshop tests. I also think the 733 machines will cost an both arms and legs and will still feature those oh so smokin ATI 128's.

 

[hifimaster]

where is the "right click" botton?

 

[zippy]

hifimaster, give them some time- you can't do everything at once! I mean, they got over 600MHz so logically the next advance is a right mouse button.

 

[Charles]

Wow! Photoshop will like that 133MHz FSB! G4 Cube will be a cute MoFo with this 733MHz processor!

 

[Gunbuster]

The only thing that keeps them alive is that Schools and Media Houses just send in blank signed checks and hope apple sends them something pretty.

 

[Soccerman]

jeez guys, sarcasm is NOT becoming of you, be optimistic! why do you hate that soo much? just because there are many who think they are better then PCs, does NOT mean that you can go do the same (yet opposite) when it comes to PCs vs Macs

 

[Zenmervolt]

Actually, I figured it was about time for IBM to start releasing faster PPC 7xx series processors. Even since the PPC 7xx series, IBM has kept Macs a respectable distance behind PC's in clock speed. This was needed to bring Macs back to the same relative position in which they were a year ago. Is it just me, or did anyone else dislike the idea of an integrated battery in the PowerBooks? Also, if I recall correctly, the article said the PowerBooks were also going to be all-in-one. That would mean that once the integrated battery died, you would have no way to swap in another, charged battery. Seems that would be terribly inconvenient for mobile users. Mac will never catch x86 in terms of clock speed unless IBM stops being the PPC chip supplier, there's no way IBM will endanger its x86 line by developing a blazing PPC 7xx processor.

Zenmervolt, Motorola make the G4.


<< Despite simple math, PCs containing 1.5-GHz Pentium 4 chips are not three times faster than Power Macs with 500-MHz chips. However, the performance gap has grown, because chips in PCs have been steadily gaining speed over the past year, according to analysts. >>


Wow, these analysts must be geniuses if they saw that PCs have steadily been gaining in speed over the past year! Where can I hire them?? They are worth at least 1mil./project!

 

[yuckck]

but we got to admit, pcs look hideously ugly. nothing elegant like the macs. those new supposedly hip curvy designs by compaq, etc. after imac came out is even worse than the old biege box.

of course we won't deny that performancewise pcs are better.

 

[GrimReefer]

Macs are good for idiots

 

[Venomous]

Another paper launch from Apple.. You will see them next Jan of 2002 if your lucky. Thats if Apple doesnt blow it with OS-X and fold before then.

At this point, Apple would be better off going to a X86 processor from AMD. They better do something soon.. And 733 is hardly a marginal increase.. They need a Gig.

 

[yo2tup]

i dunno, the look of a glorified kleenex box that the mac cube has doesn't really appeal to me.

 

[nuttervm]

g4 cpus are risc right?

 

[snow patrol]

Mac users are so annoying. How they'll brag..:|

 

[ArchAngel777]

I used to work retail in a computer resseller, macs users will spout of numbers and talk photoshop, mac users are a cult. A guy came in and said &quot;the g4 can do 1 gigaflops!&quot; I was like, &quot;do you even know what a gigaflop is?&quot; &quot;Err... uhh..... I seen it on the comercial....&quot; Then i will say the Athlon can achieve those speeds to! He said &quot;no they can't! they mac is faster in photoshop&quot; &quot;bah I walk away from you, you ingoreant bastard mac user&quot;.

You ever notice how steve jobs compared his g3 300 to a p3 450, but he gave the p3 only 1 voodoo2, and he compared it to a mac with the rage 128 pro chipset... lol and the mac won by like 10 FPS, i am like.. put the fukking rage card in the PC and watch it rape your macintosh.. i am so sick of bullsh!t advertiseing from mac, they are not even realistic.. who the fukk plays with photoshop a lot? OK i have used it once.. twice.. but who the hell plays with 100 meg photos anyways? I suppose some do.. but the majority of the public does not. So if you you want photo go get a mac.. even though the new athlons will tear it up in Photoshop..... bah enough of my frusteration.... I hope apple dies and steve jobs find himself without a job laying in a cardbaord box with a broken macintosh.


HAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
