Forbes article on next gen IBM powerPC : Comment 22 of 50 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 14-Oct-2002 13:37 GMT | In reply to Comment 11 (Anonymous): "This is a very bad thing for the Amiga community. If Apple switch to the new IBM chip, it's unlikely Moto or IBM will continue producing G3s or G4s for Amigas. The Amiga will be forced to switch to this new chip "
You mean you actually _want_ the Amigas to be slow? The major problem of the AmigaOne, which will make it unsaleable to any normal computer buyer, is the slow processor. The sooner Amigas use this new chip the better - ideally, a couple of months before the Mac.
Even then, there will probably be faster processors on the market from AMD and Intel by the time IBM actually release these 64-bit PPC chips. |
