news of 2003-01-23

The Gay Blade (MacEdition) is reporting (rumours) that IBM will merge its PowerPC 7xx and 4xx families into the Mojave processor line in late 2003. The processors should start at 1.6 GHz and be _the_ low power processor for 2004 (PowerPC 970 being the processor that uses a bit more power, but it also gives some...).

The Blade writes: "Mojave, which will start at 1.6 GHz, will be based on a 0.10-nanometer process and feature dynamic voltage and frequency scaling. As a result, this bantamweight will be able to run at its base speed at 1.2 V and eat up only a Callista Flockhart-size 10 W." (fryke)

PowerBook 15" etc.

Valentine's day, our sources say, is the day we'll see them. 15.4" displays, aluminum enclosure & Bluetooth. Firewire 800 is in, too, no information about the keyboard backlighting is available, though. The same day, our sources claim, will be used for new iMac & PowerMac introductions. (fryke)
