G4e, Quad processors on tap for 2001

Mac OS Rumors : G4e, Quad processors on tap for 2001

It's been a long, hard road from Apple's initial period of renewed success and growth through what is often referred to as the "G4 Desert." Apple will begin to pull up out of that funk with the introduction of several new Macs at Macworld San Francisco in January, based on the long-awaited UMA-2 universal chipset, 133MHz Double Data Rate SDRAM memory, and low-power PPC 7410 G4 processors at up to 600MHz X 2 CPUs. But dual 600MHz 7410s -- even under Mac OS X with its symmetric multiprocessing -- are not going to regain the commanding performance lead that Apple needs to show the public, even if only because Apple's marketing strategy bars the company from releasing G3-based machines with higher clock rates than their G4-based PowerMacs.

だそうな。でもそのころにゃぁうぃんてる陣営は2GHの世界なんだろうーなー。
