IBM Introduces Power6 Chip @ 4.7GHz - Harbourmaster - 05-21-2007

"IBM on Monday introduced its Power6 microprocessors and a new generation of Unix-based servers to run on the chip.
Power6 is designed to run at 4.7GHz, twice the processing speed of IBM's predecessor Power5+ chip. IBM not only aims to double the processing speed over the Power5 chip, but also consume the same level of electricity to run and cool it. "

but will they make an upgrade card for the MDD duallie machines?

"Big Blue, as previously reported, said it will begin selling IBM p570 Unix servers with as many as eight of the new dual-core chips. The systems will go on sale June 8 for a starting cost of $60,000, an IBM representative said."
Hmm, say 1/5 of the system price is the CPU. Giving them the benefit of the doubt with an 8 socket system being $60,000, the price of a single dual core module is $1,500 or $3,000 for a dual socket system. For $3,000 you can buy a new MacPro with two 3 GHz Core 2 Duo processors and not have to worry about how to cool it.

Oh, sure.. look at logically...
You're no fun at all...
It would just be COOL to have my MDD with two of those puppies in it!

Reminds me of the people who said that the 68060 would've blown the doors off of the PowerPC if Apple had just used it instead.

I bet there is still PowerPC code being maintained on OS X.

Did you mean 680x0 code?

well yeah, chrome and vents, what's not to like.
Think of an old 4 door with a big block under the hood.
