[G4] The last real PowerMac?

[Kunga]

Aaron, I wouldn't get too attached to the PPC inside syndrome. When  
Apple unleashes a Dual Pentium D, ie Quad PowerMac at San Francisco  
MacWorld Expo 2007 shipping with Leopard, nobody is going to give a  
rat's ass about your "Real 2005 PowerMac".

I can't wait to buy a 65 nanometer "Yonah" dual core Pentium M  
PowerBook myself even sooner than that. It's all about the OS more  
than the processor Aaron. And in this case it's also about a better  
processor for mobile computing as well. I know with that processor I  
will finally have a "Real PowerBook".

The PowerBook Mystique
Why MacIntel Is Good News For PowerBook And iBook Fans

"Yonah's dual cores will share a 2MB cache, while a single-core  
version of the chip will be available for low-priced laptops. The  
technology used in Yonah will focus on reduced power consumption and  
heat dissipation, with the objective to reduce power consumption to  
the point by 2008 for Yonah-based laptops to be able to run for eight  
hours on a battery charge."
