Well at college for example we have a lot of computers that don't have the GPU to handle Core Image. But thus far they upgraded them all to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and they probably will to Mac OS X Leopard as well. Would be interesting to see if they can pull it off. :p

Well, Core Image will run on just about anything, and effects it cant run it hardware are marked as such, so written well a Core Image app will run normally anywhere somebody tries to run it (by well written, i mean not assuming the hardware can handle an effect, and if so not using it, look at Dashboard for an example of that).

I wonder if Apple will release any hardware that are "Leopard capable?"

Since Leopard isn't coming out till October if you are in no hurry why would you buy hardware now that may or may not work with Leopard. I remember when I purchased my G4 Mac Mini, in 1.5 months later they released Tiger and change the specifications to the Mac Mini. Now my G4 Mac Mini uses Tiger but I don't have all of the features.

So it would suck that all hardware sold by Apple now would be incapable of using the full utilization of Leopard. Especially if they are switching to ZFS or whatever it's called. Can Tiger convert to ZFS? Guess we have to wait and see in another 24 hours or so.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

It's safe to say that all Intel Macs will be 100% Mac OS X Leopard capable. Unless Apple decides to go 64-bit only that is.

There is ONE feature of Tiger that your Mac mini isn't capable of using, Core Image. Very few things take advantage of it, so you really aren't missing anything.

Yea, thanks I knew it was something. I know it is a small thing but still a feature that is missing. And from my understanding Leopard would be more animation "intense" so I haven't upgraded yet to the Intel Macs.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
