Intel PowerMac to be Released at WWDC?

Just noticed my invination in the inbox and hit show images. Shows a guy carrying a PowerMac so I guess we'll see those in August. Was hoping for something sooner, but at least something is on the horizon.

Re: Intel PowerMac to be Released at WWDC?

Well seeing as how the Conroe and merom processors aren't due till summer, it only makes sense that they would wait till WWDC. I cant remember which one is the desktop version

Re: Intel PowerMac to be Released at WWDC?

Conroe is targeted at desktops and merom at laptops/portables/small form factor PC's.

WWDC certainly makes sense as the announcement and perhaps even quick availability of one or two models.

I believe Conroe was stepped up to launch as soon as next month in order to compete against the new AMD platform.

I hope they also roll out Mac OS X Server for Intel as well. I've got some clients who want cheap servers but it's not possible with the current lineup.

Has any reIntelled Macintosh been cheaper than its predecessor? I don't think you're going to see anything cheaper, just faster.

They might be a bit cheaper, like $100-$200 but that's it. Parallels Workstation and a tower full of ram makes a VERY interesting server situation.

This page has the full set of pictures of the developers. They all seem to be holding an Apple computer and I guess they are bringing something to the WWDC? BTW, today I heard a DJ slip up on air and announce the prize of their contest, it's an iPod TV! Really, I heard this! I'm guessing it is the Video iPod and the DJ just made a mistake. Or did he? Hmmm.

I'm also waiting to buy a new MBP, but I am waiting to see if new MBPs with merom processors are announced at WWDC.

I'm really curious to see what Apple will offer, in terms of replacing the Powermac G5. I hope it's something crazy-fast. I think it would be seriously crazy for Apple to stuff four (4) intel core duo CPUs in there, along with some radical new ATi or nVidia GPU that has enough horsepower to drive 4 30" Apple Displays, or maybe even 2 42" displays.

Yes, I know the above is nothing but pure dreams, but wouldn't it be cool. To see Apple release a computer that absolutely blows away anything that Dell or HP could come up with would just make my day. Combine that with the world's best OS and man you've got yourself one hell of a machine.

Ok, back to reality. What do you think Apple will offer, realistically?

What I want to know, is when the iMacs will be upgraded. My bank account is sitting there with enough money for a 20 inch iMac. The temptation is strong.

An upgrade or price drop to the iMacs would be nice taking in account the recent addition of the MacBook and the recent update of the MacBook Pro models.

As for the Intel towers, I'd like to see dual Conroe chips on the high-end one and maybe a single Conroe chip on the "low end" one Would be nice to see the iMac updated with the Core Duo 2 or the Conroe. I'm thinking we'll see the Conroe processor in the towers, and the Core Duo 2 (Merom) in the iMacs. Just a random guess with no inside information.

It's Core 2 Duo, and the Conroe is Core 2 Duo.

I thought the Merom and Conroe are both Core Duo 2 chips just the Conroe is the desktop one and Merom is for mobiles.

I think the iMac is dead. Some other consumer-oriented all-in-one will replace it.

Maybe, simply, "Mac" as Joako suggested

Didn't think of that one. The iMac becomes Macintosh and they replace a Macintosh Pro....
