MOSR joins G5 rumours for MWSF 2004

Check out MOSR today and you'll find them saying similar - but not the same - things about the G5 update round of MWSF 2004. We now have about three different models for the update round, ranging from all-90nm-PPC 970+ up to 2.6 GHz (AppleInsider) to our own (single 2 GHz 130nm 970 model, dual 2.2 and dual 2.5 GHz 90nm 970+ models) to MOSR's model (single 2 GHz 970, dual 2.2 GHz 970 and dual 2.4 GHz 970+, only the latter at 90nm). We're confident that we'll see clearer near the end of this month, but for now, our sources seem confident that our model is the right one.

In their news article, AppleInsider claims knowledge of IBM's PowerPC 970+ at 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 GHz. They say Apple will make use of the chip early next year. This collides with our own sources who mentioned a single 2 GHz model, a dual 2.2 GHz and a dual 2.5 GHz model for MWSF 2004. We'll keep you informed.
