the 17 is not that big. what suprises me is that apple hasnt managed to take advantage of that extra size and offer a bigger battery.

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph Once IBM realigned themselves to account for the lack of SiLK on 130nm, they made conservative projections for clock speed and beat them. I didn't say they were utterly paralyzed by problems (of all the fabs, on…

Quote: Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon So, Nr9...any word on when G5 iMacs are coming? Will the 980 hit by late Summer? Will Apple call it the G6? Is it another generation ahead to justify that title? Just wondering if you had any othe…

many of you seem to imply that the concept of foundries and fabless chip designers is over specialization. this is not the case! the foundries make good processes give design help to adapt a specific circuit to their specific process, the chip de…

Quote: Originally posted by Tomb of the Unknown Heh. Is that what " 20% ?more good die? on conventional 200mm wafers" means? Or does it mean their 200mm yields are 20% higher than IBM's yields on 300mm wafers? Which could still leave IBM with hi…

Quote: Originally posted by Telomar The reason they're the top universities is because they are very good. I can tell you from experience though IBM is definitely not limited to universities in the US and actively headhunt the best talent in any…

Quote: Originally posted by Tomb of the Unknown Heh. But it looks like IBM will be using in SSOI in the 90nm G5. This is the advantage IBM has. They have such strong research they can leverage all kinds of technologies including gerManium subs…

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer IBM has been an international company for a long time and hires people from all backgrounds and all parts of the world. If the talent they need isn't local, they'll import it. The problem is that IBM te…

Quote: Originally posted by Tomb of the Unknown That's funny coming from someone who accused IBM of lying about technology in their next processor. It's common sense. Which do you think is more likely to be in the next Powerbook G5, a slimmed …

Quote: Originally posted by Powerdoc Fabbing huge CPU like the PPC 970, the P4 or the Athlon 64 is the most difficult thing to fab. One of the more easy one is to fab memory. IBM is really competitive for fabbing and he cheers his indeped…

Quote: Originally posted by Leonard Haha... a couple of new fledgeling companies think they can surpass IBM. These companies will have to catch up to IBM first. When have these companies designed a desktop CPU. What's with Taiwan these days,…

u kno, they can put all the money they want in IBM's fabs, but with the quality of american education in recent years, they are going to work really really hard to try to surpass TSMC and UMC.
