IBM will receive $5B in sale of network business to AT&T
dailynews.yahoo.com
Analysts said that this will enable them to concentrate on their core Software and Hardware business .
They have already bought a large software company now perhaps it is hardware company .
I wonder which company would appeal to IBM ?
Which is the fastest growing business with the highest margins ?
The answers to the above questions are obvious
Also Re. yields on K7
Don't forget their design team leader has a great deal of experience with the Alpha design and should know how to design a CPU that can reach high clock speeds . Just my 2 cents worth

Jim, Maxwell, and all, re: Winstone 99 on K6-2,

There may be an explanation why Anand found that the K6-2 got poor scores on Winstone 99. The problem may have been due to the south bridge in the VIA chipset for the K6-2. Check out www.anandtech.com for the full explanation.

This potentially makes the K6-2 look much better against the Pentium II, especially with the new CXT core. So much for the Intel Winstone 99 conspiracy theory.
