Windsock,

When did you become a manufacturing expert? Data? I thought that you were a microprocessor expert.


Any CPU architect who doesn't take into consideration the manufacturing costs is destined for failure.

Each individual chip has test and packaging costs associated with it. By integrating all the chips together, only one package and one test is required. In addition, the board costs are greatly reduced.

The total system costs of PCOAC are undoubtably much lower than a MediaGX system.
