WWDC Keynote Info? XServe, Mac Pro, Displays?
MacRumors has obtained unconfirmed information that could shed light on
what the community can expect next Monday during Steve Job's keynote.
Xserve
According to our source, Apple will be set to unveil Xeon-based
Xserves. It is unknown what speed they will come in, or whether they
will pack dual processors, but speculation would indicate that Apple
forgo Intel's top-of-the-line 3.0 Ghz Xeon in order to meet the heat
constraints of the 1U Xserve.
Mac Pro and Displays
According to our source, both Core 2 Duo (Conroe) and Xeon chips will
be used. Along with the new desktops, Apple will also unveil new
displays with up to 1:1000 contrast ratios, built-in iSights, and
built-in IR receivers for use with Apple's remote.
Merom?
Also mentioned was a slight design update and Merom (Core 2 Duo Mobile)
upgrade for one of Apple's products. Currently, MacRumors believes this
to be in reference to the MacBook Pro, however with iMac supplies
dwindling at many retail locations, the possibility exists that it
could also be the target of an upgrade.
Leopard
A half-dozen or so features of Leopard are said to be ready to be
displayed during Job's keynote. While not mentioned specifically as the
features to be displayed, the UI is said to be updated, as well as
better functionality for businesses, Safari improvements, and the
underpinnings of "OS 11". The most intriguing hints are that Apple will
incorporate 3d effects in an impressive new feature of Leopard.
