"Blue Inside" - IBM supplies (millions of) iBOOK chips ; 580mz coming ? MOT will eventually supply the G4 AltiVec but in the meantime it's IBM: ===== " The 300-MHz chip is an "optimized" version of the PowerPC 750 processor, according to sources familiar with the iBook's internal hardware. The chip's circuit "interconnects" are based on copper, a technology that IBM has used in its 32-bit processors since the fall of last year.... ... Motorola said recently that it plans to ship the G4 PowerPC chip--a successor to the current G3--later this year. IBM has not said what its plans are for this chip line. So far, IBM executives have said little officially beyond a demonstration of a 580-MHz 32-bit Power PC chip. But IBM is now showing serious commitment to a potentially high-volume iBook market that could reach millions of units over the next several years. [IBM] is committed to an aggressive, high-volume product. Where there's an opportunity, [IBM] will take advantage of it," said one source familiar with IBM's plans.
