Could it all be to get Big Blue's G4 attention - IBM has the Power4 Its doubtful IBM wants to pay MOT for its AltiVec technology (IBM has its own vector chips) and remains apart from the G4 citing a conflict with its other products. AMD is using IBM's copper fab techniques , is beholden to IBM in other ways , and MOT recently tried to sub-lease some of AMD's Dressden Germany Althon fab lab in order to increase G4 production. So far AMD is keeping a vacancy . AAPL didn't help MOT by going "public" with the G4 delays and MOT may now have to turn to IBM : ==== " While the G3 chip used in most Mac models is manufactured by both IBM and Motorola, the former has so far declined to produce the G4, leaving Apple dependent on Motorola as sole supplier for the crucial part.
