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

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! |

Posted by ambolinous on 21-Aug-2001 22:00 GMT | 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. |

Posted by asian on 23-Aug-2001 22:00 GMT | 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. :-) |
