Apple Is Buyer of New 64-Bit IBM Chips

Posted by Hemos on from the makin'-the-move-with-powerpc dept.

ohmygod2 wrote to us with a story from SF Gate that Apple, unsurprisingly, is going to be one of the purchasers of IBM's PowerPC 970. At this time, though, it's unclear where Apple is going to actually *use* said chip.Update: 10/14 15:53 GMT by H : Follow-up to Tim's story.

    In the last few days I have heard more about this chip then I ever cared to. I think I have actually heard more about any apple product then I ever cared to. Is there nothing else to really talk about other then some proprietary piece of equipment. And the best part is people are thinking they are getting mainframe CPU for pennies. That must be IBM's new marketing ploy... NOT LIKELY!

    Nice troll. You obviously haven't used a Mac since the early 90's.
