Alex,
If I have my facts straight, AAA, economically, makes more sense to develop.
Especially if the new owners do not have money to burn. Which is probably
going to be the case. The RISC stuff is mostly on paper and CAD simulations,
whereas AAA is already in first silicon. AAA OS work will need to be done,
which will take about 18 months. From a technology and engineering point of
view, the RISC stuff is fascinating and could possibly be more powerful than
what is available on PC systems today.
Now, if we had to do a market reality check, I don't know if this new type of
technology could find a home in the personal computer market. That,
unfortunately, has already been well defined by Macs and PCs. Graphic
workstations, desktop video, multimedia, game machine engines, no problem.
Here's to hoping.
Regards,
John Chang
