Eine ziemlich interessante Nachricht:

Apple buys P.A. Semi chip designer, Intel says wha?
by Thomas Ricker, posted Apr 23rd 2008 at 1:17AM

Apple loves 'em some Intel right? Sure, it was the Intel power-per-watt roadmap which Jobs cited as the reason to ditch IBM's PowerPC platform. Analysts have since been tripping over themselves with speculation about future generation iPhones and iPod touches going Intel -- especially since the arrival of Atom. So what will analysts make of Apple's $278 million in cash purchase of the 150 person P.A. Semi microprocessor design company? The company was founded by Dan Dobberpuhl, lead designer of DEC's doomed Alpha and StrongArm processors, and responsible for the introduction of a 2GHz, 64-bit dual-core microprocessor which in February 2007 was said to be 300% more efficient than comparable chips running at 5 to 13 watts.

PWRficient™ PA6T-1682


Meinungen? Begeisterung? Abscheu?

Lasst hören...

Walter.

P.S. Den PWRficient™ PA6T-1682 mit dem Intel Atom in einem Absatz zu nennen ist natürlich Blö... na ja.
