Power6 isn't designed for low-power. so it wont fit in a laptop. apple won't (even if IBM were interested) sell machines with two types of CPUs. its two hard to explain to customers, and it means ALL programs have to be EXTREMELY portable - no Architechture specific code. not to mention
is it by any chance possible that apple might be putting the g6 chip in there mac pro designs? It would be sweetoh and the link is in appleinsider.com
Well, it takes two to tango, and the other party of that relationship will NEVER deal with the other again. Understand?
So I will say NEVER
NEVER
NEVER
NEVER
Was a G6 ever engineered?
Yeah, its called the M1 - PowerPC on steroids which is ARM.Was a G6 ever engineered?
False Propaganda.. I use a PowerBook G4 and it works great for my needs. Keep spreading the lies.. bud.As much as it would excite me to be true, sadly, it won't happen. PowerPCs days as a personal computer are over. If you want any PowerPC machines, look at the Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360, that's PowerPC's future.
In better news, AMD and Apple might be working together in the future. That would be an Apple PC worth owning! Purely all speculation, but I'd rather have an option to Intel, so I hope that rumor may be true someday.
Besides, I'm happy not knowing about computers anymore, I prefer life rather than technology. They're all electric razors, nothing special, nothing different, just casing and names.
Actually, its not a PowerPC by IBM, but its a RISC processor, a cousin to PowerPC - M1 and this proves PowerPC won over Intel, x86 is defeated on Apple.

Yeah my bad.. oh btw, I got 70 percent dark mode on my DLSD. Google is now dark, and I somehow got most everything to be dark.You realize that you just quoted a post from 2007 right?
A 15 year old post.
This entire thread was necroed.
Wrong. I see the same numbers there. Coincidence? I think not.By that "logic" the 68000 was a cousin to the 8088.
-> pointless attempt to connect things that are not connected
