    LOL... Now that IBM has lost the desktop battle, they are going to compete against ARMs & 68K.



    "The 405LP operates at 1 volt to 1.8 V. Carpenter said system designers can choose to vary the frequency of the processor as needed, from a scant 11 MHz to the maximum of 380 MHz."

    I thought I posted this link a few hours ago.... but oh well. I think its amazing that the same architecture can be used for applications ranging from high end graphics workstations to routers and switches to handhelds and cell phones.





    pretty cool
