Scumbria - Re: "Earlier in the year IBM demoed a 1.2 GHz Power PC chip."

This chip was an Integer-Only processor and used only a limited subset of the Power PC instructions.

It had only 1 million transistors.

The 1.2 GigaHetrz performance was obtained executing only instructions in the on-board cache.

It was made with a 0.15 micron (Leff) process, using ALL ALUMINUM INTERCONNECT - NO COPPER!
