Apple G5 gets_BITCH_SLAPPED by Opteron.

This is not even the fastest Opteron. Opteron 248 2.4Ghz launched this week on 5/21.

Apple G5 vs. Opteron vs. Xeon

Oooops!! Problems for Apple:

"Perhaps most importantly, even though Apple will never talk about unreleased products, there is a new G5 chip waiting in the wings, the 3GHz IBM PPC 970FX processor. Steve Jobs promised the chip would be shipping by "next summer" -- that would be a month from now (mid-May 2004) -- but it's apparently run into difficulties. Inside sources tell Digital Media Net that the chips are running into problems with heat issues, along with IBM not being able to consistently create reliable chips running even at 2GHz, much less the Jobs-promised 3GHz."
