Apple intro's 700 Gigahertz G4 processors No, this is not a typo on my part. More like a typo on the part of the AP guy. ;-) story.news.yahoo.com Apple Introduces EMac for Schools Mon Apr 29, 2:21 PM ET CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) - In an effort to capture more school sales, Apple Computer Inc. on Monday introduced a line of Macintosh (news - web sites) computers that will be sold only to educators and students. The "eMac" computers, featuring 17-inch cathode ray tube monitors and 700 gigahertz G4 processors, are priced at $999 and $1,199 — less than the flat-panel iMacs introduced in January. The new computers are expected to be available starting in May. Though shaped like the first iMacs unveiled in 1998, the eMacs are about a third of an inch shorter than the original iMac. They also include 16-watt stereo speakers and a CD-recordable drive. A DVD drive is available on the more expensive eMac. Apple has seen its share of new sales in the education market decline in recent years, according to the research firm IDC. In the fourth quarter, Apple's share fell 20 percent to 14.7 percent. Dell Computer Corp., meanwhile, saw its share increase from 36.8 percent in the third quarter to 39 percent in the fourth. Also Monday, Apple unveiled a new line of Titanium PowerBook laptops, with faster processors, a new high-resolution display and built-in Gigabit networking capabilities. The top-of-the-line Titanium, with an 800 GHz processor, is priced at $3,199. A 667-MHz version runs $2,499.

Remember what I and others said in the past about AMD's transistors already being essentially 0.13 micron on the 0.18 micron bulk process. Yup, good call, and one of the reasons I stay with this board. Besides being fun, most of the time, it is informative like no other venue I know. Here's some good, solid development work going on with Itanium and a couple other companies. Oh, one of them is Microsoft. ============================================================================= PolyMedica Selected for Joint Development Program With Microsoft, Unisys and Intel Liberty Unit is Only Healthcare Company in Project WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2002--PolyMedica Corporation (NNM:PLMD) today announced that its Liberty Medical Supply, Inc. subsidiary has been chosen to participate in the SQL Server 2000 64-bit Joint Development Program (JDP) with Microsoft Corporation, Unisys Corporation and Intel Corporation. "This alliance offers an unprecedented opportunity to continue our leadership in the technology sector of the medical call center arena," said Chairman and CEO, Steven Lee. "With this new relationship, Liberty will further enhance its ability to serve its customers with the best available technology and most efficient automated systems." "Microsoft has selected Liberty Medical because of Liberty's extensive use of sophisticated data mining, modeling methodologies and the high volume of online transactions. These types of application profiles are enhanced by our upcoming release of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 64-bit," said Stan Sorensen, director of SQL Server at Microsoft. "Liberty is pleased to be associated with three of the premier companies in information processing and is enthusiastic about evolving to the next level of enterprise-class solutions," said George Narr, PolyMedica's Chief Information Officer. "We believe that these two technologies could be a significant step toward mainframe-style computing on Windows- and Intel-based technology." Liberty's enterprise applications will be tested on the high-performance Enterprise Server Unisys ES7000 with 64-bit hardware architectures based on Intel Itanium processors. The ES7000 supports 64 GB of memory and up to 32 processors. Microsoft's Windows Server and SQL Server 64 bit will take advantage of all the enhanced resources available on the ES7000. By capitalizing on these emerging technologies, Liberty will benefit greatly from a platform that is architecturally designed to scale to meet their most demanding levels of reliability, manageability, scalability and enterprise computing solutions. "Liberty is focused on the Microsoft platform through its close involvement with Microsoft on this Joint Development Program," Mr. Narr concluded.

RE:"They have 2600+ (2.06GHz) set for the end of the year, but if all they can manage now is 1.53GHz, it's doubtful that they can wring another 35% frequency in just 9 months with limited budget." Isn't it a bit early to be declaring 1.53 Mhz the top speed for a T-bred? All I see is some dude trying to overclock a low speed T-bred and a number of butt slappers hailing his "statistical sample". Maybe I missed it. WHere are the rest of the t-bred reviews? RE:"Looks like Hammer is going to be all or nothing for them." Nothing new there. Jim
