IBM's new SOI PowerPC to ship for servers , major tech advances " IBM Microelectronics is in the final stage of debugging PowerPC microprocessors that feature copper interconnects and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, which is expected to boost the processors' performance by about 30 percent over current copper-based devices at equivalent frequencies. IBM's first 0.22-micron devices with these features will be used in Apple Computer's Macintosh systems and in IBM servers, perhaps within two to three months. At the same time, IBM is developing a 1-GHz PowerPC that will be built on a 0.18-micron process and will try to steal some of the limelight from Intel's second-generation IA-64 chip, dubbed McKinley.
