#Power PC
At a recent meeting at IBM here in Kansas City, the chip was mentioned (in
passing). I don't think commodore will be getting it's hands on the chip…
Apple has a huge investment in the design and the new Taligent operating system
is supposed to run on it.
It is interesting to note that IBM has estimated quantity shipping prices of
20,000 to be in the $300 range… Kinda forces Motorola's hand on the 060… I
wonder what kind of pricing it will have and how comparable it will be in terms
of performance. Seems to me that Motorola is playing both sides of the fence,
and if apple does go the way of the PowerPC what will that mean to the 680×0
based market….
