THE WATSONYOUTH, <. But the question is - WHO will help Motorola??> Given the context, you seem to be implying that G4 is Process issue. Is that right? If so, why do you say that? What information that you have that makes you believe that? Chuck

Re: There is no Motorola/IBM process I believe that they're cooperating on processor design, and that they've gotten over the spat regarding the extra instructions that Motorola wants to include. I'd be surprised if there wasn't considerable information exchange regarding how to make the things they've jointly designed. On the other hand, there is a article in the current issue of Performance Computing that talks about IBM's upcoming 1GHZ processor in no certain time frame - meanwhile, all they're going to ship near term is 450MHZ - so in answer to your question of who's going to help motorola help AMD, I guess it's not going to be IBM!
