Apple and IBM Working Together on 64-bit CPUs
Currawong writes "eWeek reports that IBM Microelectronics is working with Apple on a 64-bit PowerPC processor called the
GigaProcessor Ultralite (GPUL). Unlike previous reports, eWeek now reports that Apple is testing the chip for use with future hardware. IBM apparently also plans to use the processor in linux-based servers. It's believed IBM will disclose some details of the processor in October at the upcoming Microprocessor Forum in San Jose, California. While this story is similar to recent stories about Apple using Power4-based IBM chips in future Macs, the GPUL, unlike the Power4, is smaller, runs cooler and consumes far less power, making it suitable for desktop machines and small servers. The processor is described as having the same 8-way superscalar design fully supporting Symmetric MultiProcessing." We had a previous story about these new chips.
first post!
Lick my hairy arse and get your tongue in real far now... can you taste it? lick it hard, you slashdot faggots.
second post! woohoo!
It would be über of Apple to make a dual-CPU Mac with these bad-boys in it, though.
Has anyone else noticed that a lot of the stories on slashdot's front page are merely reposts of stories that ran on Ars Technica two days ago?
Now IBM will be overtaken by the homosexuals. Once Apple touches something, faggotry reigns.
shameless karma whoring perhaps?
Dude, I got a Dell! (Ad, that is.)
Where is a new FPS with original goal that doesn't use the Ray Tracing BSP method
I agree with your post, and I hate to nit-pick it, but the "ray tracing BSP method" pretty much died with Quake 2, though fanboys and amateur game developers are a bit slow to realize this.
I think your factor of two from Quake 2 to Quake 3 is way high. More like 0.25, or 0.5 at most. It was a complete yawner in so many ways.
hi, apparently the lack of speach isn't a valid form of communication anymore?
stupid moderators
Since it seems to me that most of the recent Apple stories have been posted on www.macslash.com first, maybe the head honchos at /. should just see about redirecting apple.slashdot.org to www.macslash.com.
Just a thought...
Quit yer whining. The moderation you received was well-deserved. I would rather see your post at -1, so here's hoping the mods continue their good work and send your contentless post into oblivion.
Shut up fag.
Yes...you...fag...shut...up...now...
kthx bye!
Get it right:
This baby can flash fry a buffalo in 10 seconds.
10 seconds?? I want it now!!
Dude, unless you are running a pr0n server, turn your fucking peecee off when u go to bed. kthx bye!
Gee, imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!!!
I'd agree with turning this into a 1 post, but on the alternative it was intended to be slightly whitty so it would have been more apropriate there at -1 (offtopic) than -1 (troll). Apparently trolling has a diffrent definition now-a-days
Either that or he's dating a guy whose bedroom computers make twice as much noise as his does.

OMG! George W. Bush is a low-UID Slashdotter!?! Who knew?

AFAIK????

I am a big homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, my universal translator appears to be broken.

Either you need another psychiatrist, or real things to do
