Here is an article that mention Amiga as a possible customer for the Gecko. The chance is thin but it is worth reading.

Yeah - I read that earlier but didnt get chance to post it! :)
It will be interesting to see what roads Amiga can make progress in during the next few months.
Good site for general news there BTW!

In reply to Comment 1 (Ben):
It doesn't say that Amiga is a possible buyer, it says that it's hard to see why Amiga would want it because of the small megahertz.
Remember, this IS a REGISTER story.

Try to read it again!!!
That processor don't exist!!!
There is no Gecko!!!
The IBM PowerPC processor used in the Nintendo GameCube is the Gekko!!!

IBM had announced the availability of "ANACONDA" PowerPC 750 CX / 700 MHz in large quantity. Unfortunately the CPU does not have ALTIVEC.
Perhaps they will offer similar "IBM INSIDE" logo. :-)
