Motorola to Have Rapid I/O in All Future Processors

Posted by pudge on from the what-about-mac-on-intel dept.

Anonymous Cow writes "This PDF from Motorola states that all future processors from Motorola will have rapid I/O (page 32). Further down (page 34) it claims that that Motorola has got a dualcore PPC processor in development. No launch dates are given." It also notes that they could achieve 3+ GHz, without significant increase in power consumption.

    Like waiting for a bus...

    You're waiting for one for years (~3), and then two (970 & this) come along at once.

  4. 105 Degrees what? by Zo0ok · · Score: 4, Funny

    On page 5 I read "Top frequency is 1.3 GHz @ 105 degrees C".

    Do they mean Celcius, or do they actually mean Farenheit? Coult they possibly mean 105C?

      It's a missprint, it's actually Kelvin. Yes, that's right, the new G4s will be so cool that they will actually suck heat right out of the room, and use it as power. That 20-30w figure is the amount of electricity it generates by this process.

      Some manufacturers are going to sell blades with a G4 and an x86 chip in them taped together, with the G4 powered by the x86's waste heat...

    Actually, they're going to be releasing this chip with Duke Nukem Forever pre-installed.

    IBM an unknown?

    HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. Shows how much you know about this subject.

    Man, even IBM is giving Intel a headache these days. Opteron and Power 4+ are out, and Opteron is the first SOI chip. (So from a super high end 64 bit CPU with multicore and a giant cache to a cutting edge x86 32/64 hybrid, IBM is executing NOW)

    If you think IBM foundries haven't made Crapple Computer chips before, think again. They have. Where Motorola fails, IBM delivers.
