Freescale (Motorola's chip division) has launched the 90nm G4, and is planning a dual core version for next year. The chip is faster -- over 1.5GHz -- and cooler than the old chip, but it is also pin compatible.

powerpc : Comment 8 of 26 | ANN.lu |
Posted by minator on 28-Sep-2004 23:29 GMT | In reply to Comment 6 (Andreas Wolf): >And how do you want to connect this VIA VT8237 to the CPU, i.e. which bus?
PCI using a RapidIO to PCI bridge.
Better solution would be an AMD 8111 via a RapidIO to HyperTransport bridge.
I'd guess anyone actually putting this chip on a board will connect up via PCI Express which will be in wider use by then and thus be more avilable. |
