IBM extends PowerPC with dual-core, low-power chips
IBM unveiled two new PowerPC chips Thursday at an
event in Tokyo, one month after its primary customer for those chips announced
plans to switch to Intel's processors. The new PowerPC 970MP is a dual-core
version of the PowerPC 970FX, which users of Apple's Power Mac and iMac
computers know as the G5 processor. IBM also unveiled a low-power version of the
970FX chip with power consumption statistics that would make it suitable for a
notebook.
