Apple rolls out dual 64-bit G5.
EE Times: Apple rolls out dual 64-bit G5."Each G5 dissipates 97 watts..." [Hack the Planet]
These machines are sweet, but 97 watts means it's going to be tough to put a G5 in a laptop. Looking at the internals of the new machines it's clear that cooling these chips takes some effort. I'd love to see a new Powerbook with these chips, but I'll definitely be buying a dual processor system when they start shipping.
