I was reading somewhere that it's rumored that Apple is ditching the "G"..well not exactly but there going from G5 to GX (G10)..why would they do that? though G6 is purely Pontiac...ahh you never know :miner:

I don't know maybe so the name of their proccessor, is simmular to the name of the operating system to remind every body that they make the processor and the operating system. probually for marketing purposes.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. They were saying the re-designed PowerMacs were gonna go to 3.0-3.6 GHz.. but not till late 2006

Yeah I was wondering what they were going to do since the Pontiac had the G6 and I am sure they have it patented, copyrighted, whatever, so they are practically forced to go to a different naming scheme.

yea, plus I think g6 is a little too predictable. for apple who "thinks different", following a traditional naming scheme for so many years is un apple. GX would sound odd to me, and where could they go from there?

GXI
GXII ?

Then, in 3000 years, when Apple is ruling the world, we could have (based on one processor release per year) .. the GMMMX processor!!
