Weird stuff. IBM is making their MIIs on a different process than NSM's MIIs? This part about, Looking at it from this angle, the game performance is about the same, with some neat additional effects coming from the 3D cards. heise.de Which might be related to this story from yesterday: www1.newsalert.com

Fuchi Wu - Re: "IBM M2-PR333 heise.de; So...the M2/6x86 had a few flaws did it? "The flaw that c't detected in the 6x86 handling of certain Pentium-II instruction have meanwhile been fixed for the M-II-PR300 as well as for the 6x86MX-PR333, but allegedly at the cost of a few MHz of the maximum clock frequency. " Where can all the fools who bought earlier M2's get THEIR REFUND? Paul

Fuchi, It features less inductions - this different connection technology supposedly allows up to 20 MHz more. The next step to a real 0,25 æm process is planned for the third or fourth quarter of this year, consequently an external 100 MHz clock rate should no longer be a problem. After that - according to an open secret at IBM - the 6x86 or its successor Cheyenne will get a performance boost with IBMs copper technology. Well despite the shoddy spelling, if that last part is accurate it seems to be indicating early next year for Cayanne. Steve
