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.

    Notes from assorted rumor sites claim that the 970 of about one third cheaper than the G4. Of course, rumor sites may be somewhat variable in utility.

    That is probably with no cooling. A P4 with no cooling / heat sink can ruin close to FOUR HUNDRED DEGREES farenheit. That makes this chip seem cool.

    With a fan + heat sink / fan + heat pipes in laptops / etc, the surface temperature of the chip would never get even close to this hot.
