Hot new Power PC Chip. I am looking at an article in the most recent issue of Byte Magazine. The title is, "Power PC Speed Demon, Exponential Technology's 533 MHz bipolar microprocessor will breathe new life into the PowerPC architecture and the MacIntosh." Here is the first paragraph. "There's an old joke about a computer so fast that it can execute an infinite loop in 10 seconds. Exponential Technology's new PowerPC-compatible X704 chips aren't that fast, but their clock speeds of 466, 500, and 533 MHz make you wonder if that joke might not come true. You can bet that intel isn't laughing. Exponential's CPUs will munch on Pentium and Pentium Pro chips for breakfast. What's more, the X704 appears to have plenty of headroom for future performance gains." For the full text article go to byte.com Has anyone on this board discussed the implications for Apple of this new processor chip from Exponential Technology? Rich Schoenstadt
