[Ti] Prediction has come true [OT]

[John Griffin]

Well folks, the Intel - IBM debate has just been updated. As many  
here predicted years ago, IBM has just released a RISC chip that is  
capable of running rings around anything that Intel could even dream  
of designing - let alone manufacture. Imagine speeds exceeding 5 Ghz  
in a MacBook Pro! So far only for servers, but when IBM develops  
circuits for server machines they have a nasty habit of showing up in  
Personal Computers soon thereafer.


Quote from AP news wire...

Delivering on its promise of a superfast server chip, IBM Corp. said  
Monday that its new Power6 microprocessor will go on sale next month,  
boasting twice the clock speed of the previous generation while  
consuming roughly the same amount of power. [...] In addition to raw  
power, the new IBM chip also has massive bandwidth - 300 gigabytes  
per second - which the company says can process the download of the  
entire iTunes music catalog, currently more than 5 million songs, in  
about a minute.

Perhaps Apple took its corporate eye off the ball just a bit too  
early (?)
