Ars Technica Interviews 970 Designers

Posted by Hemos on from the talking-wtih-the-man dept.

11223 writes "John "Hannibal" Stokes has interviewed Pete Sandon, the PowerPC 970's main designer, and David Edelsohn, a compiler writer from IBM, and clarified several points about the 970 regarding group formation, vector issue queues and performance, and more. The interview is a very interesting read for anyone who has been following his earlier articles on the processor that Apple calls the G5."

      I did. I just thought Ars was trying to 1-up Anantech on their 13- Motherboard CEOs interview.

    One of the best quotes from the interview was from David Edelsohn: "IBM is not gonna try to compete with Apple's reality distortion field :)"
