Apple said to ship PowerBook G5 in Q2 2005

Expect Apple to ship PowerBook and iBook notebook Macs based on a G5-class PowerPC chip in Q2.
So claim sources close to Taiwan's contract manufacturers, DigiTimes reports. Click Here
Tucked away in a discussion about Apple's manufacturing partners are references to an iBook G5 and a PowerBook G5, which will ship in Q2 2005. They will be built by Asustek and Quanta, respectively.
The news will be welcomed by Mac notebook enthusiasts, who have anticipated a G5-based PowerBook since the emergence some 12 months ago of the 90nm PowerPC 970FX from IBM. In the end, the 90nm die-shrink, despite IBM's initial claims proved less notebook-friendly than anyone had anticipated. This stopped Apple from rolling out a PowerBook based on the chip, but it refreshed the XServe G5 and updated Power Mac desktops with the new part.
Apple's then director of Power Mac product marketing, Tom Boger, told customers at the G5 desktop launch not to expect a PowerBook G5 "any time soon [and] certainly not before the end of the year".
Has IBM solved the 970FX's heat dissipation problems, possibly with new chip-making techniques, or has Apple figured out how to keep the chip sufficiently cool to operate efficiently in a notebook? A third possibility exists: DigiTimes has written 'G5' when it should have typed 'G4'.
Certainly, Apple wants to move the PowerBook line to the G5 and will do so as soon as possible. But Freescale's upcoming 90nm G4-class MPC7448 chip has been seen as a more likely candidate than the G5 for the next PowerBook and/or iBook revisions.

散熱問題一天不除,G5的比電就一天不會有著落。TotalEclipse 寫:這篇寫的真的不錯∼cardreader 寫:這篇評論的較客觀:

As I mentioned
As I mentioned before on the Web, WWDC 2005, the earliest, or MacWorld Expo SF 2006, the latest.
The DigiTime's news was wrong, but the unprofessional press organization stood by its mistake. They even sent me an e-mail saying that.

Re: As I mentioned
總之,結論只有兩個字:還早
看看PowerMac G5的測開圖就可以知道一半的原因了。
