Wow. I was so caught up in political and Microsoft stuff today that I completely missed the official GPUL/PPC970 announcement by IBM that occurred today.
The new IBM chip is derived from the computer giant's Power4 microprocessor that powers its high-end Regatta servers. When available by the middle of next year, it will range in speeds from 1.6 gigahertz to 1.8 GHz.
Chekib Akrout, vice president of microprocessor development at IBM Microelectronics, said the PowerPC 970 will have plenty of application now in low-end servers and will have uses in high-end desktops in the future.
"Middle of next year", huh? I like the sound of that.
