Istina je da jos nije izasao PowerBook G5, ali je i sigurno da dolazi. Uostalom, iMac G5 je komletno laptop racunalo postavljeno u desktop oblicje, tako da je to jedan od pokazatelja kakav bi trebao biti PowerBook G5. Vjerovatno ce proc raditi na jos nizem taktu, ali to tek treba vidjeti.

Dakle ipak je potrebno snižavati takt što znači da se ipak ne radi o toliko bogomdanoj arhitekturi. Ne znam, koliko ja znam već sad postoje špekulacije da će u novim PowerBookovima biti Freescaleovi dual-core G4 procesori.

Eto malo fakata:


1. A lot of people have been talking about the new iMac's demonstration that squeezing a G5 into a notebook seems a lot more doable than recently thought. In fact, Apple has decided to officially respond to this talk, with Tom Boger, director of Apple's worldwide product marketing, telling The Mac Observer, "You're not going to see a G5 in a laptop anytime soon." He says the G5 itself is not thin enough, and that there are "great challenges" in shoehorning it into a laptop. Boger says he doesn't expect one this year, and wouldn't even guess as to when they might hit shelves. The funny thing is, as As the Apple Turns recalls, Tom made similar statements about the iMac G5 in June, citing a "heck of a challenge" getting the G5 into something as small as the previous iMac design. Interestingly enough, the iMac G5 was originally slated for July. Was he feeding us this line a month before the product announcement was planned (though it was subsequently postponed)? Either Apple makes no qualms about fibbing in order to surprise its customers, or it keeps engineering and marketing separated by lock and key. At least in my experience, the latter is a good idea. So, as AtAT calculates, 6 weeks passed between Boger's "No iMac G5 soon, folks" and the announcement of the G5 iMac, so G5 PowerBooks should be here come Columbus Day. I can't wait.

2. One thing about the new iMac: it's vertical, and it has 3 fans. Vertical orientation helps the heat flow anyway.
Notebooks lie flat...and fans eat battery life.

Another iMac thing: it's 2" thick (1.9" for the 17inch screen, 2.2" for the 20incher). This height includes the screen but not any keyboard.
Apple wants only sleek PowerBooks. I guess they would go with a G5 PBook that came out at 1.9" though they are a LOT happier in that ~1" range. But adding the keyboard to the 2" iMac3 means there is quite a lot of shrinkage that would have to be done ... which makes it harder to cool...

I'm thinking Apple must wait on cooler, portable-er CPU's from IBM before proceeeding. Doubtful for January, but maybe next summer.

Kaj kažeš na ovo?


Ova tvoja druga stvar je totalno fulana. Cijelo vrijeme govorimo o Centrino tehnologiji i procesorima vezanim uz nju, tako da je tvoja upadica sa mobilnim Athlonima XP totalno fulana. Kod intela ipak postoji krucijalna razlika izmedju laptop i desktop procesora. [/B][/QUOTE]

Da, postoji, ali tvrdnja i dalje ostaje. Da li Intel može isporučivati dovoljno Dothana da bi zadovoljio tržište stolnih računala? Rekao bih da je yield tih procesora strašno nizak s obzirom na to da rade na prilično niskom naponu.
