AMD and IBM Working Together on Future Chips

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the smaller-hotter-more-expensive dept.

oogbla writes "There is a story over at news.com which says that AMD is teaming up with IBM for its sub-100 nanometer process and is de-emphasizing its previous relationships in that area. Also seems that the Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology they were supposedly getting from Motorola isn't going too well and has caused at least one delay to Barton."

    What, Motorola caused a delay for someone it was supplying something to? That's crazy! Motorola is never *achem*G5*achem* late! I'm sure that it's just a big misunderstanding on AMD's side.

    Then again maybe it's the year of the Laptop for AMD too!

    Yes, wouldn't that be great? :) (I think so)

  5. IBM -- possible matchmaker by Quazi · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apple is consulting with IBM about the PPC970. AMD is consulting with IBM about a new fab process. So, with any luck from IBM, there's a chance that representatives from both Apple and AMD will be in the same room together! With any more luck, they'll be opposite genders (then again, that doesn't much matter these days), and they'll hit it off!! (..but we've got to see their offspring.. it will be wonderful!)

    Oh yea, sum up a billion dollar company in a couple sentences. At least their failures are still more amazing than all of your accomplishments put together.
