Apple may upgrade Power Mac G5 line as early as next week
According to sources cited by Think Secret, Apple will soon be announcing upgrades to its flagship Power Mac G5 line. If these sources are correct, the new G5s (which may be announced as early as next week's Apple Expo) will be the first to sport IBM's dual-core PowerPC 970MP processors, which max out at 2.5GHz. This unusually short period between revisons (the G5s were last repimped in April) could be indicative of either slow sales or technical problems with the current models. Plus, with their announced switch to Intel processors, Apple needs all the help it can get to avoid the mythical but dreaded Osborne Effect.
