IBM building $700 million PPC development center by Mike Flaminio - <mailto:flaminio@insanely-great.com> Amid rumors of the "PowerPC breakup," we've received news about IBM new chip development center. The $700 million facility is scheduled to open in 1999. IGM was told that the East Fishkill, NY center will further PowerPC development. We were also told that the facility will develop chips that will contain up to 200 million transistors. This is about 30 times more than the microprocessor chips in a typical desktop or notebook computers. The facility will be among the first to produce chips on 12-inch silicon wafers. The plant will use IBM's copper manufacturing process and advanced X-ray lithography technology.
