Forbes article on next gen IBM powerPC : Comment 46 of 50 | ANN.lu |
Posted by strobe on 16-Oct-2002 17:41 GMT | From MacCenteral:
"Microprocessor Report editor in chief Peter Glaskowsky said that the PowerPC 970's memory architecture is proprietary. One of the hurdles that Apple would have to jump to use IBM's latest processor would be to design a memory controller for the part."
Another interesting tidbit is at 1.2Ghz it uses less power than the G4 at 1Ghz despite having more transistors; 19 vs 21.3 respectively. This might be due to the 0.13 micron process but I wouldn't know. |
