3 Comments
Apple rumor site Think Secret said Thursday that "reliable sources" are pointing to a refresh of the Power Mac G5, iMac G5 and eMac systems to coincide with the April 29 release of Mac OS X 10.4, known as Tiger. All three models will see upgraded video cards to take advantage of better graphics capabilities within Tiger.
The PowerMac G5 will now feature up to dual 2.7 GHz processors with Apple's SuperDrive as a standard option. It is also rumored that Apple may replace the G5's current single core processor with the dual-core PowerPC 970MP chip. The iMac G5, meanwhile, will now sport a 2GHz processor in its high-end models, and include Bluetooth 2.0.
