Actually, they have. IBM and some company (Cant remember the name) are teaming up to speed up the .65 development..
Virtually every company is teaming up with someone for development now. IBM isn't skipping the 90 nm process and nor is their 65 nm process even close to ready.
has anyone any info about the roadmap of the PPC970?
when will we see the PPC970 at 0.09 micron?
is this the PPC970+?
when will we see the PPC980? will it be dual-core? at 0.09 micron?
the microprocessor forum is just over, what info did IBM provide at that event?
cheers
Very little. It seems that IBM is making Apple happy by not discussing its roadmap too much. IBM only discussed the POWER5 and how much of that will be put into a future generation of chips for Apple is anyone's guess.
I think the original rumor of IBM going directly to a .06 process is just plain ridiculus. It was obviously put forward by someone who has no idea of the complexity of going to these smaller and smaller chip sizes.

That other company would be AMD...

this "rumour" has yet to be debunked!

Debunked++ Take it from someone in the industry that it just isn't feasible for ANY company to move to 65nm in the next 6 months. IBM may indeed skip 90nm node but you won't see 65nm product until late '05 or early '06.
This isn't even that old a thread. DMBand0026 needs a spanking for being on daddys computer again.
No, it was an obvious thread bump. The thread had been dead for 18 days. And it is a thread that should die. I apologize for having to post this, and in doing so, bumping the thread.

So if somebody has a question pertaining to a thread then they should just post a new thread? oh, that makes a whole lot of sense

also.....the fact that apple put a g4 in the ibooks,a feat many of you said would not happen should be cause for speculation.
does it mean motorola has faster g4 chips on the way?
or does it mean apple will introduce a new chip at this years macworld???
hmmmm
i say an enirely new chip is coming,whether it comes from motorola or ibm is anyone guess,but if i must guess ill say ibm!
perhaps this new chip is the 750vx chip thats been talked about.
i hear it absolutely torches the g4 and thats why apple has waited until now.
but the rumour that ibm would jump directly to 0.065um process has been verified by 2 rumour sites.
now when these chips ship is anyone guess.
im guessing the next generation of 970 chips were done using the 0.09um process.
im officially kicking off the MWSF2004 hype right now!
So what question does this post ask? It seems to insinuate that the release of the G4 iBooks could lead to 60nm chips. Mostly, it is a ramble about how we haven't disproven the rumor yet, so we should discuss some new future chips.
So what Geekmeet should have done was to make a new thread that goes something like "What does a G4 iBook mean for future PPC development", rather than appending his post to a thread that had been dead for 18 days when the revealing of G4 iBooks has very little to do with IBM skipping 90nm and going straight to 60nm.
Come on folks, the post ends with kicking off the MWSF04 hype. This isn't necessarily a bad post, just a post that was out of place and wound up bumping a thread that had been dead for over two weeks.
I don't have any issues with asking questions, but Geekmeet wasn't asking questions related to the original topic, and he wasn't really posting newly relevant information on the topic. As such, I think that he was bumping the thread.
Ok. I see the thread bump now. Thats an iffy post... But that happened three days ago. I thought people were complaining about cocoa tree's question (because the complaint came after it)...
See, now were going to create traffic just debating weather it was a thread bump...

MacBidouille has stopped to publish rumors. The english version of the site is hardmac.fr.
I think that they stopped to publish rumors, due to the massive pressure of Apple's legal.
