We've already touched on this technology, but there has been (obviously) a lot of discussion about it since it was announced.
First Intel takes over Apple.
Now Intel is build extreme 6800 processors.
The clock rolls back 20 years. I knew the 6800 were better than x86!!!
It is strange in a way that for years I would only consider AMD, the chips were cheaper more powerful and didn't burn as hot. Intel were the big M$-alike. But lately AMD chips have become more expensive, and now slower.
Now I will be going Intel if I put anything new in my box. Which I wont because I will probably get a Mac.
Oh wait, hang on . . .
If this were really happening, what would you think?
