Motorola to Boost 0.13-micron PowerPCs
Anonymous Cow writes "From The Register: 'Speculation that Motorola may soon cease to be a supplier of processors to Apple may be premature. The chip maker yesterday said it had successfully implemented low-k dielectric materials in its 0.18 micron silicon-on-insulator (SOI) processors, bringing an estimated 20 per cent speed bump to the PowerPC line. Motorola expects to roll out the process on its 0.13 micron chips this month...'"
Please. Like fuckin *nix geeks and PC gamer kiddies sound any different. Only the buzzwords change. Lets examine the PC version: " My new Canterwood chipset and 3.0C P4 gets me 8 more FPS in CS! " I'll be the envy of my clan now!!!" " DAMN, I love updating Windows every other day with a new security patch! It shows that Microsoft REALLY CARES about my computers security!" " I love spending my valuable time endlessly troubleshooting my new winders box I just put together....it's only been 3 months now and I still cant get the RAID to work right...." " Linux is GREAT! Every time I install a new piece of hardware it takes me 4 days becuase I have to hack the kernel and recompile , but HEY, that's the price of progress, right? " Stupid lamer. Only a moron would allow themselves to worry about what kind of fuckin computer or operating system OTHER PEOPLE should use. Use whatever YOU like and leave everyone else alone. If they like to make what you consider to be bad choices, thats THEIR bag.
Look at me. I just bashed the Mac platform with some semi-imaginative troll bait. Mongo feel so much more smarter now...
