Not sure what this all means. But maybe, this NITRO is the G4e by AMD in Dresden??????? Would be GREAT for Apple!! From the xl8ryourmac.com site (sourced from Raging Bull AMD boards) ---- By: motman1175 Reply To: 11317 by winemkr Thursday, 23 Mar 2000 at 3:08 AM EST winemkr, G4e Codename Nitro Would have loved to break this news to you and everyone else back in Jan. when we started the production ramp, but it's been under pretty tight wraps. Since it was leaked, I feel I can comment and add one or two more "goodies" for ya! Incredibly accurate, surprised they didn't mention copper though (maybe it is assumed with these two companies working together). Back in January on one of my first ever posts mentioned an AMD/MOT golf polo shirt being distributed at the Campuses, guess what it has on it? NITRO, an AMD/MOT collaboration. While AMD has never formally announced a Dresdin partner, that doesn't mean two companies aren't CURRENTLY using the same FAB space under an informal partnership. The last little tidbit I'll add is this, if AMD is helping MOT with its future (G4e), could MOT be helping AMD with its future (well, I'll let you keep guessing)? ;) (I have seen the "future" for both these companies, and I'm glad they make up over 80% of my current portfolio.) motman " -----

Very exciting rumor. It sounds true... Thanks for posting it here! Keep distilling the essence here please... Even though I hate over-crowded boards, I think I am going to start reading the RagingBull to stay up-to-date earlier in time (took too long for this rumor/info to appear here). Cheers... E-

IBM finally announces their 700MHz G3s (with on-chip 256K cache). news.excite.com I wonder whether these have any pipeline redesign at all or whether it's a pure process shrink and maybe SOI?? Would be a great upgrade for a Powerbook and iMac, although I have concerns about the 256KB cache since all current iMacs have at least 512KB - depends where the knee of the working set curve is in MacOS... Now, if only Motorola could ship G4s at more than 500MHz, we might be able to buy these new G3s in an Apple machine, but I can't see Steve allowing his iMacs to be faster than his "supercomputer" G4s any time soon.
