Okay, so we have the Power Mac G5 & iMac G5. Anyone fancy some speculation on the new name Apple will invent? The Power Mac name is good... it's just that G5 bit - might need a bit of a tweak in the coming year. Anyone? Discuss. (20 marks)

It will be called the IMac, for Intel. Since so many articles were mistakenly written in praise of the "IMac" several years ago, anyone searching will find twice the good reviews!

Who knows, maybe it will be some sort of re-badged intel processor named "G6" or something.

I doubt it'll be a G-anything. Those used the PowerPC G3, G4 and G5. This will not be a PowerPC, so they can't very well call it a PowerPC G6.

Based on Intel CPU models, like 8xx and 6xx.

I have it on good authority.
