AMD and IBM Working Together on Future Chips
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."
Oh not again
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these!
WhooHoo! Go Mustangs!
Cat got your tongue?
No, but I've got my tongue in your pussy!
Forbes has a top 100 list of best jobs and IBM is listed, I think within the top 50. How is that possible with the thousands of people they are laying off? How is that a quality job to have? Isn't job security counted for anything... BTW Microsoft is #20 on the list... The list seems to be made up of only public companies though which would explain quite a bit.
I love my job in the private sector

No, what we need is Macs with Z80 CPUs
This is truly sad news. I heard that he was killed by SRD (Slashdot Rumor Disorder). Long may he live in peace.
IBM have a grasp on what should be in a laptop processor, it's called a 750FX, buy an iBook if you want one :)
I know were talking about microchips here, but have you tried their phones???
... for anything? Their products are sub par!
Those suck too!
Why would anyone partner with them
Semiconductors is a soap opera for nerds.
Ooh! That must make DEC the somewhat older, yet highly sexy^Wattractive and intelligent lover who dies in a tragic "accident". And AMD can be the distant steprelative that fills in for her!
Consolidation might or might not be interesting ... or good. I dunno about Apple and Motorola merging though. That'd be kind of like Digi- oh wait. Collaboration could be fun. Maybe CPUs with onboard SDRAM. Somebody does that now, don't they?
I recently converted from using intel chips (I had a dual celeron linux box and a P200 windows box) to Athlon XPs... I've had nothing but trouble since. I've had two athlon chips give out on me completely, random crashes even under linux, IDE controller problems, startup problems, etc. This isn't just a bad motherboard since both computers are giving me problems. It isn't just the chipset since each motherboard has a distinct chipset (AliMagick and VIA respectively). This experience has led me to believe that AMD chips and motherboards are simply below the quality standard I need, and I've started saving my cash for P4 or celeron motherboards and chips. I just don't have the time to deal with junk hardware. Maybe I'll just give up and switch to Apple.
AMD's cpus will warm up YOU!
(and you appreciate it because it's fucking cold)
That is the dumbest question ever heard from YOU!
