Apple insider has been offering a live feed direct from the keynote presentation at Apple's WWDC '06. Among a lot of info about the convention itself, including attendance numbers, Apple has completed their transition from PowerPC to x86 chips (intel) today. Announcing a fantastic new replacement for the PowerMac G5 the new "Mac Pro" as it's being called uses intel's "woodcrest" chips, as some have speculated. It appears the cooler processors have allowed apple to stick in a whole slew of extra expansion slots and drive bays. The Mac Pro is said to conform to the aesthetic of the G5 but with a second optical bay. And though I didn't see them mention it, I'm assuming an IR sensor somewheres for interaction with apple's remote. The new systems are supposedly 1.6 - 2.1x faster then their predecessor's top configuration: The G5 QUAD. That makes it more than a little faster than the rig I've got here... (heh) I also believe they've introduced something impressive in their Xserve Line, though I'm fuzzy on the details as I was busy dreaming of the Mac Pro. I may write more later, but you can check it out here for yourself. And be sure to check apple's site for a webcast of the entire thing later today.
