What's in a name?
This fella's name is Dobberpull? You can't be serious!Aren't you pulling my ... leg?
Divergence?
Right now, Leopard runs on PowerPC and x86 architectures (for desktop/server purposes) and ARM (for the iPhone) - so moving the iPhone to a PowerPC chip would reduce the number of architectures from 3 to 2. I suspect it'll be a long time before they can stop supporting PowerPC systems in OS X anyway.The other possibility is including these chips as something other than the main CPU - many systems, particularly high-performance workstations and servers, have additional processors controlling things like networking and RAID storage - the current PA Semi offering seems ideally suited to this job, with fast iSCSI, SSL and TCP/IP features.
In iPhone? Are you stupid?
are ppl crazy or what? A chip that consumes 5-13W cannot possibly be used in an iphone or an ipod. So either Apple wants the engineers to design a completely new chip, which will take several years, or apple is designing a new product.Add a new comment:
